Lovett Care has celebrated wonderful team members who go above and beyond in supporting its care home residents.

Sixty people attended the inaugural Lovett Care Awards at Cranage Estate in Cheshire on Friday, 10 November, which was hosted by Big Ian Donaghy.

Donaghy said: “It was inspiring to hear such selfless stories of people who change residents lives every day, a celebration of not just individuals but the teams they make up, it really felt like everyone had the same goal.

“It felt like an evening of togetherness, warmth and appreciation and I was truly humbled by listening to all their stories and I was honoured to be a part of it.”

Finalists were nominated by colleagues, peers and residents in categories which included Exceptional Newcomer Award, Nurse of the Year and Going the Extra Mile. Winners and highly commended individuals in each category received a trophy and vouchers.

Keith Crockett, chief executive of Lovett Care, said: “Tonight is all about our team members, who make such a difference, we are so proud of each and every one of you and hope you go away as proud of yourselves too.”
