Compliment today from the family member of a former palliative client: “I have to say your care workers are the best I have ever met. They are well trained and consciousness. Thank you."
This week one of our clients was discharged from palliative care. They are no longer considered palliative by their doctors! This follows a comment last week from their physio that she “had never worked with such an excellent team.” Penrose Care’s home care workers are heroes!
Thank you to all our wonderful home care workers for doing such great work in 2025. Bringing so much joy to people’s lives everyday and even saving lives from time to time. Wishing you a blessed 2026.

This week two of our workers saved someone’s life in hospital by noticing something was amiss. Turned out a medical device was malfunctioning and would likely have killed the patient if not stopped. The client is now well and recovering. Heroes!
Happy Living Wage announcement day. The new London Living Wage is £14.80/hour, up from £13.85/hour. Penrose Care’s amazing home care workers will see this wage rate increase from Nov 24, 2025 onwards.
📣The real Living Wage rates have risen!
⭐£13.45 across the UK
⭐ £14.80 in London
Half a million workers will get a pay rise thanks to the commitment of a growing movement of over 16,000 leading employers such as @IKEAUK, @Everton and @AvivaUK 🙌

Hello, our landline is currently not working. You can contact us via email until it is: enquiries@penrosecare.co.uk
The London Tube strikes seriously inhibit home care and other community health workers getting to the most vulnerable in our society. The RMT tube strikes are an affront to ordinary working people and to the health of the people.
Four new care workers did their first aid training today with Athena Training. Great group of people ready to serve the most vulnerable in our society.
We received a glowing compliment today. We agree!

This morning the physiotherapist of a client this morning complimented our workforce: “you have fantastic carers. Really wonderful carers.” Penrose Care does!
Indeed one of our elderly care clients was out this morning in @BelsizeVillage and thanked our MD @bobpadron - while he was picking up litter - for making Belsize Village “such a wonderful place.”
Another @BelsizeVillage local told me this morning how much him and his wife loved seeing me in the FT. Pleased I can be identified by “smartly dressed gentleman picking up litter.” LOL. | @ftweekend
Some of our wonderful home care colleagues are off to get breakfast together on this most beautiful morning.

A special thank you to all the women working in social care. Happy International Women’s Day 2025!

You know things are bad when normally docile social care providers are uniting to protest, especially over the irresponsible increase in Employers’ National Insurance Contributions. #providersunite
