This award is open to all members of the care team.

This award is for someone who always goes that extra mile for their residents and their colleagues.  The one person in the team who is always looking out for others and the home would just not be the same without them.  Everything they do encompasses the very essence of person-centred, kind care and they always put their residents first.

This award is open to kitchen team members, domestic team members, caretakers, front of house managers, lifestyle managers/activities coordinators and support office team members.

This award is for the support star in the home or support office who stands out as someone who our homes just couldn’t function without, and who always has a friendly, welcoming smile ready.  They are helpful to newbies, and nothing is too much trouble.  Whether it be whipping up our residents’ favourite foods, making sure the home is sparkling clean or they’re just a phone call away to offer advice, their support and positivity keep everything running smoothly. They offer encouragement regularly; they are always there for you.

This award is open to all members of Team Ideal.
