๐Ÿ† A huge congratulations to Rajaa and Cathy from Benson House Care Home following their recent success at the Oxfordshire Care Awards! ๐Ÿ’œ

Rajaa won the Care Home Worker Award, while Home Manager Cathy was one of four finalists in the Nursing Practice award, a fantastic achievement for both.

Awards like these are a wonderful reminder of the dedication, compassion and commitment shown by our teams every day. So much of the exceptional care delivered across our homes happens quietly behind the scenes and often goes unrecognised, making achievements like these especially meaningful.

Well done, Rajaa and Cathy and thank you for everything you do for residents and their families. ๐Ÿ‘

Weโ€™re delighted to introduce Emma, the new Customer Relationship Manager at Blenheim Court Care Home๐Ÿ’œ

Emma is passionate about supporting families as they explore care options and helping residents begin a positive new chapter with the right care, companionship and support around them.
