Hallmark Care Home local awards mark efforts of unsung heroes
Unsung heroes at our care homes across England and South Wales were recognised at individual awards ceremonies organised in their honour.
Team members and volunteers alike at our 15 homes, which specialise in residential, dementia and nursing care had their hard work celebrated among residents and relatives at a glittering ceremony, which included a champagne reception and canapés.
Each event was hosted by the care home’s General Manager and each winner was encouraged to walk on stage and receive a certificate and an award.
In advance of the event, the finalists had been nominated and interviewed by Hallmark Care Homes Regional Director and each home’s General Manager.
Regional Director for England, Kieron Walsh said: “We are extremely proud to recognise our team members who have demonstrated excellence within their field of work. Each individual awards evening was an opportunity to recognise and award those particular team members who go above and beyond and are our unsung heroes.
“A fantastic night was had by all who attended each ceremony and I would like to give a huge thanks to the residents, their families and our team members who voted.”
The individual care home winners have now been automatically entered into our national awards ceremony, the Hallmark Care Homes Awards, which will take place in September and be presented by TV personality Eamonn Holmes.
