Guardian Angel Carers Spelthorne shortlisted at 2026 Home Care Awards for Innovative Technology Expertise
Guardian Angel Carers Spelthorne is celebrating after being shortlisted at the prestigious 2026 Home Care Awards for Innovative Technology Expertise, recognising its practical, person-centred use of technology to support more flexible options around home care, and give families extra reassurance.
The nomination highlights how the Spelthorne team is using technology in a careful, human way. This includes the introduction of Stay Close, a discreet, home-based system designed to help families keep connected when its CareAngels aren’t there, and help everyone feel more confident and reassured about a loved one living independently at home.
“We’re absolutely delighted to be shortlisted,” said Lou Cobban, Owner of Guardian Angel Carers Spelthorne & Windsor. “For us, technology only matters if it genuinely improves life for the people we support. We’ve always taken a careful, thoughtful approach to introducing technology, and Stay Close has been an incredibly positive step for many local families, which combined with the compassionate care our CareAngels provide, this gives them even greater peace of mind.”
Vikki Craig-Vickers, Managing Director of Guardian Angel Carers, added: “It’s fantastic to see Guardian Angel Carers Spelthorne recognised for innovation that’s used with real purpose and care. They’re a great example of how technology can strengthen home care when it’s used thoughtfully and responsibly.”
Guardian Angel Carers supports local communities across 16 locations in England and Wales. Guardian Angels Carers Spelthorne was established in 2018 and is a franchise owned by Lou Cobban, supported by her dedicated team providing everything from light-touch to fully-personalised live-in care across the area.
The Home Care Awards winners will be announced on 6th March, 2026 at The National Conference Centre.
