“Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward… one day, someone might do the same for you.”

We’ve Won the 2025 People’s Choice Award in Domiciliary Care!

We are absolutely delighted to announce that District Healthcare has been awarded the 2025 People’s Choice Award in Domiciliary Care, presented by Plymouth City Council in celebration of excellence in care.

This award means so much because it reflects the voice of the people we support, their families, and the wider community. It is a powerful reminder that the care we provide is not only essential — it is valued, appreciated, and making a real difference in people’s lives.

Winning the People’s Choice Award is a testament to the compassion, dedication, and professionalism of our care staff, support team, and management. Whether it’s a warm smile at the door, a hand held during difficult times, or simply showing up day after day with kindness and integrity — you are the reason we do what we do.

We are incredibly proud of the relationships our team builds with clients and their families. As one relative recently told us during our CQC inspection:

“Cannot fault District Healthcare and their care staff go above and beyond.”
 

This award is yours.
To every carer, every member of our office team, and every person who supports the delivery of our services — thank you. Your work changes lives. Your care is noticed. Your effort never goes unseen.

We’d also like to thank Plymouth City Council for championing high-quality care across the city and recognising the value of community support delivered with heart.

Here’s to continuing to raise the standard of home care — together.

District Healthcare – proud to be your People’s Choice.

At District Healthcare, we believe that looking after our care staff is just as important as looking after the people we support. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our newest initiative: electric bikes for our non-driving care staff.

This investment is about more than just transportation — it's about supporting our team, reducing stress, and improving access to the communities we serve.

Our carers go the extra mile every day — and now, so can we.

Many of our team members do not drive, and while walking and public transport have always been options, they can be time-consuming, weather-dependent, and physically exhausting when covering large areas or back-to-back visits. By introducing electric bikes, we are:

• Improving travel times between clients, allowing staff to focus more on care and less on logistics
• Reducing physical strain on staff who walk long distances
• Promoting sustainability and reducing our environmental impact
• Supporting staff wellbeing by making their day-to-day role easier and more manageable
   

At District Healthcare, we take pride in being a service that truly listens to and supports its team. These electric bikes are a practical, meaningful way of investing in our staff and helping them feel valued, safe, and supported in the field.

We want every member of our team to feel proud of the work they do — and confident that they have the tools to do it well.

As one staff member recently shared during our CQC inspection:
“Communication is fantastic from the office and you have so much support out in the community.”

This new initiative is just one more way we’re demonstrating that commitment in action.

To our non-driving care staff — this is for you. We know the effort you put into every visit. We see the extra steps you take, in every sense of the word. These electric bikes are a small step in return — to make your day easier, your role more comfortable, and your journey between visits that little bit smoother.

Thank you for everything you do.

District Healthcare – proud to care, proud to support.
