Aveley Lodge Care Home Win Prestigious Award

Aveley Lodge Care TeamWe’ve got some very exciting news from Aveley Lodge Care Home to share with you all. Our extremely hard working and dedicated Care Worker, Jackie Rickett has recently won a prestigious award.

We are all delighted and extremely proud of Jackie, who was up against thousands of other contestants, and had to go through a rigorous interview process, supported by an evidence based portfolio. Her determination and hard work came shining through, as she went on to win the regional category for Best Care Home Worker at the East of England Care Awards.

As a result of winning the category, Jackie is now through to the National Care Awards which will be held on the 31st of March 2017 in Birmingham, where former singer, Martin Kemp will hand out awards to the winners.

Jackie was nominated to attend the awards by HR Manager, Suzanne, who believed Jackie’s committed and caring approach to work deserved to be rewarded.

As well as Jackie’s fantastic achievement, we are also very proud of our talented chefs, Tracy and Jenny who both made it to the finals of their categories. Our Activity Co-ordinator, Keely also did a brilliant job in getting through to the regional finals.

Aveley Lodge may be a small, family run care home, but we all have big hearts when it comes to delivering outstanding levels of care. We are extremely proud of each and every one of our staff members, and the awards are a massive achievement for us all.

In a statement with the Colchester Gazette, Suzanne very kindly offered the following words:

“Everyone who works at Aveley works incredibly hard and are proud to work for such an outstanding company. It’s fantastic to now have some recognition for this hard work and show the world not all care homes are bad, there are some, like us, who are rare gems.”
