Caring colleagues at Belong Crewe have been shortlisted in 11 categories of the postponed Great North West Care Awards 2020.
Members of the Brookhouse Drive care village team have been recognised in a range of award categories, including Dignity in Care, the Good Nurse Award, Palliative Care and the Workforce Development Award.
Belong is also shortlisted for the Social Care Covid Hero Award, recognising its team’s efforts throughout the pandemic across all its villages and home care services.
Since the coronavirus outbreak, the not-for-profit operator has been re-accredited as a Gold Investors in People.
Belong Crewe’s general manager, Kathryn Farmer, said the “whole team has pulled together to ensure a safe and happy environment for the residents of their village”.
“The wide range of nominations we’ve received reflects just how important everyone’s role is at Belong Crewe in maintaining as much independence as possible during the pandemic while also keeping customers and colleagues safe.
“Offering a diverse programme of experiences is what helps promote ongoing independence for our customers.
“Whether it’s Covid-safe interactions at the hair salon, enjoying a walk outside or getting involved in crafts and music, our team has sought ways to bring out the best in everyone.”
