Celebration of our Caring Superstars at Blenheim Court
This year Caring Homes launched its inaugural Caring Superstars Awards. The aim of the awards is to highlight exceptional people working for the company that others wanted to thank and recognise.
Launched on National Thank You Day in July, we welcomed nominations across 12 categories from colleagues, residents, relatives and friends. There was a category winner from each of the three divisions within Caring Homes and then one overall Caring Homes Superstar from each category.
Caring Homes Managing Director Tracey Fletcher-Ray said, “These awards show appreciation of our excellent colleagues with residents, relatives, team members and friends all invited to nominate someone they thought exceptional.
“We were overwhelmed with the number of nominations, a total of more than 600 from across our portfolio of 70 homes showing the high calibre of colleagues we have working with us and how highly they are all valued”.
The winners from across 12 categories were taken for a celebratory luxury afternoon tea at London’s Landmark Hotel on Friday 26th November, where they were presented with their awards.
The winner for the Garden Superstar was the Resident-led Garden Club at Blenheim Court in Liss. This group helped maintain their gardens using and developing the features already there, showing that their garden can be accessed and enjoyed by all who live and work at the home. “Blenheim Court got their garden into shape through the involvement and hard work of their resident-led garden club members”.
Joan our resident ambassador has a desire for perfection and it really shows. A huge amount of thought went into designing the garden for everyone to enjoy.
These awards marked the coming together and celebration of the very best care and support provided by outstanding people. It provided the opportunity to think about the thousands of colleagues making a significant contribution to caring and supporting people across all of our homes.
