Celebrating Outstanding Achievements

In a touching celebration of achievement and leadership, CareYourWay's CEO, Sarah Sabater, was named a finalist in two esteemed categories at the 2024 West Country Women’s Awards: The Phoenix Award and The Inspirational Leader Award. The announcement took place on November 4th in the beautiful surroundings of Powderham Castle near Exeter, where semi-finalists from across the region gathered to share an afternoon of networking and inspiration. The grand finale will take place on November 28th in Plymouth, marking the culmination of this event dedicated to recognising exceptional women who inspire, lead, and drive positive change across the South West.

The West Country Women's Awards

The West Country Women’s Awards honour the achievements of women who have made a profound difference within their communities and fields, and Sarah’s advancement as a finalist in two categories highlights her significant impact in the home care sector. As a family-led organisation, CareYourWay is grounded in the values of compassion, integrity, and community, values that Sarah and her family have passionately instilled over the years. The awards recognise not only Sarah’s personal dedication to raising standards in care, but also her family’s unwavering commitment to creating a supportive environment for both clients and staff.

Sarah’s leadership is known to be both humble and impactful, built on over 35 years of experience in the sector. Alongside her family, she has helped shape CareYourWay into a trusted and respected name in home care, focused on providing outstanding care services and supporting the wellbeing of the entire team. This family-centred ethos is at the heart of CareYourWay’s success, and together, Sarah and her family have worked tirelessly to create a culture where every person—client or staff—is valued and respected.

Sarah's Finalist Award Categories

The Phoenix Award nomination reflects Sarah’s and her family’s dedication to perseverance and progress, even in challenging times. Together, they have not only grown CareYourWay into an exemplary home care provider but have also set a standard for the sector by embodying resilience and innovation. The Sabater family’s leadership has been instrumental in fostering an organisation where every client feels cared for, and every team member is empowered to make a difference.

In addition, Sarah’s place as a finalist for The Inspirational Leader Award speaks to her role as a guiding light within the home care community. As part of a family business, her approach to leadership is rooted in humility, empathy, and collaboration. Alongside her family, she has led by example, demonstrating the importance of compassion and unity in a sector that profoundly impacts people’s lives. This collaborative leadership style has inspired not only her team but also others in the industry to adopt a more person-centred approach to care.

Recent Achievements of 2024

As a past recipient of multiple accolades, including her recent inclusion in the Home Care Insight Power List 2024—which recognised her as one of the sector’s most influential figures—Sarah’s achievements are a reflection of a lifetime’s dedication to care. Yet, she would be the first to acknowledge that her success is a collective one, shared with her family, whose values and commitment underpin CareYourWay’s mission. Their joint vision has always been to set new standards in home care, ensuring that everyone in need of support receives it with dignity and respect.

CareYourWay’s reputation as a family-run business with heart is a source of pride not only for the Sabater family but also for its staff and clients. Together, Sarah and her family have made CareYourWay a beacon of hope, compassion, and reliability. This commitment to family values and genuine care has earned them a respected place within the home care sector and inspired others to view home care not simply as a service, but as a meaningful and rewarding vocation.

The West Country Women’s Awards are a meaningful way to honour these qualities. The Sabater family’s influence at CareYourWay has made the company more than just a business—it’s a supportive community, one that strives to make life better for each person it touches. Sarah’s leadership has shaped an organisation that truly values the people it serves, creating a positive ripple effect that reaches far beyond the company itself.

Their collective efforts have helped bring about meaningful change in home care, creating a culture of empathy, integrity, and dedication that has impacted thousands of lives. The grand finale in Plymouth on November 28th will be an exciting moment, not only for Sarah and her family but for all who believe in the transformative power of compassionate care.

In Sarah’s own words, “At CareYourWay, our teams truly care about what really matters to each precious client, where our mission of transforming lives through outstanding care, and our purpose of living and breathing excellence in care, lies at the heart of everything we do.”
