DORSET, UK. May 19th, 2025 – A care provider set up by a mum who wanted to change the way care services were delivered is pushing for further expansion after growing to a team of 50.
When Ewelina Wiesner founded SilverStars Care in 2017, she wasn’t chasing profit, she was answering a personal call for change. A dedicated carer and mother of twin daughters and an older son, Ewelina had seen both sides of the sector: the emotional toll on families and the relentless pressure on those providing care.
“I loved my job, but once I became a mum, I realised just how inflexible and unsupportive the system really was — for carers and clients,” Ewelina said. “It needed to change, and I was determined to be part of that change.”
Born from that determination, SilverStars Care is now one of Dorset’s fastest-growing care providers. With a team of 50, a £1.8 million annual turnover, and services designed around real lives — not rigid routines — the company is challenging the status quo of social care.
What sets SilverStars apart is its genuine focus on people. In an industry where over half of adult social care providers report recruitment struggles, Ewelina took a different route. She built a flexible, family-friendly culture, recruited a diverse range of skilled professionals, and prioritised staff wellbeing just as much as client satisfaction. It’s a winning combination.
During the COVID-19 crisis, while many providers scaled back, Ewelina expanded her office team to support her carers, prevent burnout, and protect quality of care. “Our carers give so much of themselves, emotionally and physically. It’s our responsibility to take care of them too,” Ewelina said.
The result is a growing business with a big heart, backed by an outpouring of appreciation from families across Dorset. “We get letters, cards, emails from people saying we made a difference when they needed it most. That’s everything to us.”
SilverStars Care is now preparing to launch live-in care services and respite support for families who need a break from 24/7 caring, and Ewelina is passionate about offering support without judgment or guilt. “Family carers need time to breathe, and to know their loved ones are still receiving outstanding care.”
Even as the business grows, Ewelina is committed to keeping it personal. Plans are underway to appoint a dedicated customer service lead, ensuring clients always have someone warm, approachable, and responsive to turn to.
“At the end of the day, care isn’t just a service — it’s a relationship,” added Ewelina. “We’re here to make sure people feel seen, supported, and truly cared for — every single day.”
