Celebrating Our Long-Standing Team: A Day Out for Kevin

Jan 10, 2026

At Harbour Rise, we believe outstanding care starts with an outstanding team. Many of our staff have been part of our care home family for years, building strong relationships, trust and a real sense of belonging for residents and colleagues alike.

Earlier this month, one of those team members was treated to a well-deserved day out. As a Christmas thank-you, Mark took our much-valued colleague Kevin to watch Plymouth Argyle Football Club play Burton Albion. It proved to be a great choice, with Argyle coming away with an impressive 3–0 win.

Kevin has worked at Harbour Rise for almost ten years, supporting the home as both a minibus driver and kitchen assistant. He is one of those people who quietly goes above and beyond every day. Whether it’s helping residents get out and about, lending a hand in the kitchen, or stepping in wherever he’s needed, Kevin does it all with warmth, kindness and a genuine smile.

Mark’s son, Pierre, also joined them for the match, making it a lovely shared experience across generations – something we value deeply here at Harbour Rise. Moments like this reflect the strong sense of family and appreciation that runs through our home.

We are incredibly grateful for our long-standing, loyal team and the care, commitment and compassion they show every single day. It’s people like Kevin who help make Harbour Rise a trusted, welcoming care home in Paignton, where every day is made meaningful.
