The Great British Care Awards recognises teams, individuals and organisations, providing exceptional care throughout the country. The Family & Friends Forum of The Belvedere Care Home, Alderley Edge in Cheshire nominated several staff for their commitment and dedication to the care they give to residents suffering with dementia.
The nominated staff were Pat Pickford – Care Manager, Tom Davison – Frontline Team Leader, Irene Salgado – Carer, Joe Salgado – Newcomer, Steve Davies – Ancillary Worker and Lukasz Kowalczyk – Dignity Champion.
Steve Davies & Irene Salgado were shortlisted and were invited to attend an interview at the fabulous Blackpool Tower on the 19th September 2012, where they were accompanied by Managers Pat Pickford (The Belvedere) and Kimberley Gordon (Cavendish Court).
The award ceremony was attended on the 12th October 2012 by all those nominated. Celebrity presenters were Julie Hesmondhalgh and David Neilson, known by most of us as Hayley and Roy from Coronation Street.
Steve Davies won the award for Ancillary Worker for the North West Region. This is a fantastic achievement for the whole team who work so well together at the care home. Staff and relatives were overwhelmed and very pleased with the outcome.
On returning to work the following Monday, Steve was presented with a cake made by the Chef, which he shared with staff and residents. Congratulations to everyone at The Belvedere.
As a winner Steve Davies is automatically entered into the National Finals, where he will compete against all regional winners from all the other 8 regions. We are currently awaiting details regarding the next steps, which are due to be issued in December/January – watch this space!
