The past year has been difficult for everyone, but it has been especially difficult for our care homes as the Covid-19 virus has presented a particular threat to the lives of residents and staff in care homes for adults.

Yet throughout this time, the dedication and professionalism of staff in supporting residents, families and each other has been exceptional. Care home staff have demonstrated resilience whilst adapting to the challenges of Covid-19. The care home response to Covid-19 has involved new innovative activity, unprecedented collaboration and people going above and beyond the call of duty.

The Care Home Awards was therefore an important opportunity to recognise best practice and all the excellent work within the care home sector. It was an opportunity to say thank you and express our gratitude to all the individuals who make up the care home workforce.

The awards have been hailed a huge success in recognising individuals, teams and companies, who are delivering care at an incredibly high standard in challenging period and within an increasingly demanding work environment.??
