CareYourWay celebrates 20 years of outstanding, award-winning, family-led home care.

Honouring two decades of compassionate care in South Devon while empowering franchise partners to bring CareYourWay’s family-centred model to more communities nationwide.

From local family values to a national franchise vision.

This week, CareYourWay’s founders and flagship South Devon team came together to celebrate 20 years of raising the standard of home care — driven by a belief that every person deserves to feel safe, independent, and able to truly thrive in the place they call home.

What started in 2005 as a small, family-led service has grown into a nationally recognised home care provider and franchise network. Today, CareYourWay’s approach empowers local franchise partners across the UK to deliver the same relationship-led, personalised support that families have trusted for two decades.

While the organisation has evolved over time, its purpose remains unchanged: to transform lives through outstanding care, providing the same kind of compassionate care that founders Manuel and Sarah Sabater wanted for their own loved ones — delivered locally by teams who understand the communities they serve.

A celebration of people, partnerships, and shared purpose.

A special anniversary celebration brought together clients, families, carers, healthcare professionals, partners, and support teams to reflect on the journey so far.

More than a milestone event, the gathering offered an opportunity to celebrate the relationships that define outstanding home care — connections built over months and often years between carers, clients, and their families.

Guests were welcomed with refreshments and live music performed by members of the CareYourWay team, creating a warm and uplifting atmosphere that reflected the organisation’s close-knit culture.

Throughout the afternoon, conversations between care teams and the people they support served as a powerful reminder that care is not simply a service — it is a partnership built on trust, familiarity, and reassurance during some of life’s most vulnerable moments.

Co-Founder and CEO, Sarah Sabater, shared:

While we are incredibly proud of how far we’ve come, this celebration is really about the people who made it possible. Our clients, our team and the families who place their trust in us are the reason CareYourWay exists. We remain committed to delivering the kind of care we would want for our own loved ones.

Recognising the dedication behind outstanding care.

A particularly moving moment of the celebration came as three of CareYourWay’s longest-serving team members were recognised for their years of loyal service.

Having dedicated nearly two decades to supporting people within their own homes, their commitment embodies the compassion, consistency, and reliability that families rely on every day.

As they received special gifts in recognition of their contribution, founders Manuel and Sarah Sabater reflected on the countless lives that have been supported through their work — prompting smiles, applause, and heartfelt appreciation from colleagues, clients, and relatives alike.

For many families in attendance, these carers were not simply members of staff, but trusted companions who had walked alongside them through illness, recovery, and significant life changes.

Championing social inclusion across our franchise network.

Alongside reflections on CareYourWay’s journey so far, speeches and presentations throughout the celebration also shone a light on the organisation’s ongoing mission to promote social inclusion and combat loneliness within the communities it serves.

Guests were reminded that outstanding care extends beyond practical support — it’s about ensuring people feel connected, valued, and able to participate in everyday life. This commitment was brought to life through a showcase of CareYourWay’s annual Present for a Pensioner campaign, a heartfelt initiative that continues to bring companionship and festive joy to older people who may otherwise feel isolated during the winter months.

It was also a pleasure to welcome special guest Sarah Cressall, CEO and Founder of The Creation Station, who joined the team on the day with a selection of fun, accessible arts and crafts activities for guests to enjoy.

Spending time meeting clients, families, and care teams, Sarah joined conversations around the future of inclusive, community-based care ahead of an exciting new national partnership between CareYourWay and The Creation Station, launching this Spring.

Bringing together two purpose-driven franchise organisations — both led by inspirational founders named Sarah — this collaboration represents a meaningful new addition to the CareYourWay service. Through creative activities delivered both in person and at home, clients will have even more opportunities to stay engaged, express themselves, and connect with others.

Crucially, it means participation will be possible no matter where someone receives support — helping franchise partners across the UK to further enrich the lives of the clients and communities they serve.

Sarah Cressall shared:

“I felt so proud to be invited to be part of the CareYourWays' 20th Anniversary celebrations and to provide some fun, easy crafting activities for their wonderful guests. It was a joy to see so much love, creativity, and connection in the room. 

A special mention to the wonderful Sarah Sabater, Founder & CEO, who is an absolute inspiration. Not only for founding and leading an award-winning business, but also as a powerful speaker who completely lit up the room. She reminded us all just how valued and wonderful the people working in the care sector are, and equally, those who receive that care.

Thank you for such a memorable and inspiring day. I’m also excited for future collaborations - so do watch this beautiful space.”

Looking ahead: supporting communities, together.

As CareYourWay continues to grow its franchise network across the UK, the anniversary served as both a celebration of past impact and a reaffirmation of its future mission.

By equipping local franchise partners with the tools, training, and support to deliver person-centred home care, the organisation is helping more families access services that prioritise dignity, independence, and connection.

Twenty years on from its beginnings in South Devon, CareYourWay remains committed to delivering care that supports not only individuals, but the families and communities who stand beside them — ensuring that compassionate, high-quality support can be experienced wherever it is needed most.
