Northamptonshire Care Home scoops national award

The 15th Shaw healthcare national awards ceremony took place at The Tortworth Court Hotel in Gloucestershire on Thursday 14th November and was hosted by former Eastenders star and entertainer, Shaun Williamson.

The award was presented by Alex Jones, Client Manager for carehome.co.uk, to Sandalwood Court in Corby, Northamptonshire. The other finalists were Rotherlea in Petworth and Lancum House, also in Northamptonshire.

Stephanie Adams Service manager for Sandalwood Court, said: “The carehome.co.uk website is, for many people, the main source of information when looking for a care home for a loved one.

“Families find it comforting at a very emotional time, reading other people’s direct experiences of a care service. This award is testament to the wonderful team I have working with me at the home. A team who strive to deliver the very best care for our residents.”

Russell Brown, CEO of Shaw healthcare, added: “We are delighted to be celebrating the 15th Anniversary of the awards and the number of nominations we received this year has been incredible. Each one is an inspirational story of personal achievement and genuine care and we are very lucky to have these people working for Shaw.

“As an employee-owned company it is important that we celebrate the Shaw family, so I want to say a huge congratulations to everyone at Sandalwood Court and our other winners and also all the nominees – all of whom exemplify Shaw’s ethos of striving to provide the care we would want for our own loved ones.”

As part of the event, the guests were treated to music from rock and pop covers band, The Forgery, and a prize draw kindly sponsored by Arjo.
