Business in the Community nominee – Kath Mullock Home Care

The founder of Kath Mullock Home Care has been called ‘a true Stoke-on-Trent carer hero’ by one of her home care clients.

Kath Mullock, from Northwood, set up her business in 2010 and now leads a team of 20 carers working across Stoke-on-Trent.

Her Smallthorne-based team offers a wide range of support including palliative care, dementia care, companionship and more.

Kath said: “I don’t want to hide behind what we do. With my name on the door, I hold myself accountable for everything.”

One staff member, Sade, said: “I never knew the value of home care until I became a carer myself. Kath goes above and beyond for all her clients, no matter what their needs.

“To her clients she’s a friend, a family member, a voice and often someone who just listens. Kath is a hero with an invisible cape.”

The sentiment is echoed by Rachel, one of Kath’s clients, who said: “I know I speak for all of Kath’s clients when I say she is an amazing lady. Although she doesn’t think what she does is extraordinary, we all do.”

Other clients, Derek and Margaret, added: “Kath shows love and kindness to everyone. We thank her for coming into our lives.”

Client Sarah said: “I see the daily work of Kath and her staff and I know our city has angels. Although she owns the business Kath is a hands-on practitioner leading her team by example.

“Her commitment isn’t measured in hours, days or money but in the countless unassigned periods she gives freely. Without exception her staff respect and adopt the inclusive practices known as ‘Kath’s Way’. All of this is a testament to a true Stoke-on-Trent carer hero.”

Kath Mullock Home Care has been nominated in the Business in the Community category of the University of Staffordshire Business Awards.
