Caremark, a leading UK home care provider, has proudly announced the finalists for its prestigious UK award, ‘The Incredibles’ and Arjanpreet (Preet) Kaur from Cardiff has been recognised in the country’s top ten care assistants. The awards celebrate the extraordinary contributions of care assistants across the UK and distinguish an exceptional dedication to providing outstanding care.
This year’s selection process was highly competitive, with over 5,000 care assistants from across the UK being considered. Preet stood out for her unwavering commitment to improving the lives of her customers, offering not only professional care but compassion and kindness that have had a lasting impact on those she supports.
Sharan Dhaliwal, Managing Director and Care Manager at Caremark Cardiff and the Vale, shared:
“Preet exemplifies the very best of caregiving and we are thrilled she’s made the finals of this award. She has made a profound impact on the lives of her customers. Stories of her exceptional nature include identifying the early signs of a customer having a stroke and keeping them calm while waiting for an ambulance, learning Welsh phrases to communicate with a customer at the end of their life, and even breaking down barriers to now sing and dance together. Preet continually goes above and beyond to make a positive difference in the lives of people she works with.”
Preet’s customers appreciate her dedication, as reflected in their praise.
One customer shared, “Preet is the reason my mother is still with us. She saved her life when she had a stroke. There aren’t enough words to thank her for what she’s done. With Preet, she’s never alone. Preet didn’t just care for her; she gave her back her life. I owe her everything.”
Another said: “When my mum lost her will to live after my dad passed, I didn’t know what to do. She wouldn’t speak to anyone, wouldn’t leave the house. But Preet saw something no one else did – her love of music. She brought music back into my mum’s life, and with it, she brought joy. We’ll never be able to repay her for what she’s done.”
This year’s ‘Incredibles’ represent a wide range of exceptional care work, but what unites Preet and the other finalists is their shared dedication to enriching the lives of others.
David Glover, CEO of Caremark, praised all ten finalists for their outstanding achievements:
“A huge congratulations to Preet and our other 2024 ‘Incredibles’ finalists – the nominees for this year’s award are nothing short of remarkable. These are people who not only perform their jobs with excellence but do so with a deep sense of empathy and a genuine desire to improve the lives of others. They represent the heart of Caremark and the broader care community.
“I’m so proud of the outstanding care our team provides to customers across the UK each day. It’s a privilege to be honouring the achievements of Preet and the other finalists with a dedicated awards event again this year. We hope this recognition will show them how much we appreciate their compassion, encourage continued excellence within the care sector and inspire more shared stories next year.”
To honour these inspiring care assistants, Caremark will be hosting a special event at the iconic Fortnum & Mason in London at the end of the month. The event will offer a chance for finalists to network, enjoy a luxurious afternoon tea, and be celebrated for their extraordinary contributions to the care sector. The highlight of the event will be the exciting announcement of The Incredible of the Year, a title reserved for the finalist whose work has shown exceptional dedication and impact.
