Southeast based family run operator, Boutique Care Homes, has announced the winners of its annual Christmas card competition.

This year’s winners were chosen from each of Boutique Care Homes’ three care homes: The Burlington, Chartwell House and Brampton Manor.

Head of the Boutique Care Homes family, Ameet Kotecha, said: “These cards are the perfect reminder that the true spirit of Christmas is the gift of good company, when family, friends and colleagues come together to celebrate. This is what we strive to provide every day in our homes. Of course, we all enjoy opening gifts, but what really matters most is having high quality relationships which make us feel loved.”

The Burlington’s winning entry, which conveyed a message that Christmas is about feeling at home, was created by resident D Webber.

The winning design for Chartwell House, which opens in January, features the home’s coat or arms, which have been created by admissions manager, Jude Coveney.

Brampton Manor’s design featured a collection of festive photos of Christmas past to commemorate the feeling of family, community and the festive spirit.

The Boutique Care Homes christmas competitions are a way of bringing family, team and residents together in the spirit of joy and togetherness and embrace the value of being a united family, coming together to create something extraordinary.

This year also features a tree decorating competition and a gingerbread house competition.
