Beechwood & Larkfield View shortlisted for Caring UK Award

September 14, 2017

Two homes within the Holmes Care Group; Larkfield View and Beechwood, have been shortlisted in the UK’s newest care awards and are in the running for a prestigious national award.

Larkfield View has been shortlisted in the Care Team of The Year Category, and Beechwood in the Best Innovation in Care Category at the Caring UK Awards, a new annual event which recognises excellence and achievement within the care sector throughout the country.

Six finalists have been selected for each category, and will now go through to the next stage of the judging process.

The awards team will be visiting both homes in the coming weeks to take a look around and chat to members of staff before compiling comprehensive reports, which will then be passed on to the expert judging panel to decide who the worthy winners will be.

Caring UK have expressed that the winner of the Care Team of The Year Award will be a team who are ‘able to best demonstrate a shared vision and agreed goals, evidencing how teamwork has solved a problem, led to improvements or made a difference to the residents’ and the winner of the Best Innovation in Care Award will be ‘a facility that’s dedicated to bringing original and inventive ideas into the home that help with the day to day running of the service.

Manager of Larkfield View, Elsie MacLennan comments “The team are absolutely over the moon to be shortlisted for this prestigious award, and I am personally privileged and humbled to work with staff who show nothing but support and compassion to those they care for”.

Trophies will be presented at a glittering awards ceremony on Friday 8th December at The National Railway Museum in York.

Almond View Care Home

To all the staff at Almond View - a big thank you for looking after Mum, with such kindness and dedication. Despite living 400 miles away, I always had a good feeling that she was in good hands. When I did visit, the staff without exception, stopped to chat to us even though they were extremely busy. Please accept my heart felt thank you to you all - a real credit to Almond View.

Bankview Care Home

Thank you for the excellent level of care that my father, Frank Boyle, has received. Bankview demonstrated for us the template for a care home and how it should feel and be run. Friendly, welcoming, excellent care levels, length of time staff remain loyal to the home and above all a clear and comforting atmosphere of great leadership.

Both mum and I were most impressed with Beechwood and we have decided that is where we would like Dad to come to. You have put both mine and mum's minds at rest knowing that Dad will be looked after.

Craigielea Care Home

I can't exaggerate the admiration I have for the management and staff of Craigielea. I've never experienced so much patience, coaxing, kindness and care. These people share their lives and emotions, laugh and cry and mourn for the people who entrust themselves to care.

Craigielea Care Home

The staff talked about my best friend being an inspiration to them, despite his illness It made me change my approach with him, instead of being despondent and sad, I spoke with him the way we had always been with each other. The staff saw him as a person.

J Ellis in memory of Steve

Craigielea Care Home

My uncle, who is a retired GP, recently visited Dad on a trip over from Canada and commented that Craigielea is one of the best places he has ever seen in his experience of elderly care units. Very homely, calm, relaxing and wonderful staff. Keep up the fantastic work you do!
