We’re thrilled to share that our team here at Lulworth House Residential Care Home has been shortlisted for the Care Establishment of the Year category at this year’s National Association of Care Catering Awards (NACC).
The prestigious awards recognise and celebrate teams and individuals that epitomise excellence, innovation, dedication and outstanding contributions within the care catering sector. This recognition is a testament to the dedication and passion of our incredible team members!
Our Awards submission highlighted our ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional care focused around the dietary and nutritional needs of our residents. Over the past year, we have committed to person-centred planning, outstanding service, and meticulous attention to the whole dining experience we provide. Our team fosters strong relationships with external professionals such as dieticians, working collaboratively with them to monitor and address the nutritional needs of those living in our care. Additionally, we host both relative and resident meetings, where insights or concerns can be fed back to our Catering Team to incorporate into menu choices.
Across six categories, the finalists represent those working in or associated with care catering that deliver exceptional service every day, from care homes, Meals on Wheels services and Lunch Clubs to suppliers to the sector.
Neel Radia, National Chair of the NACC, commented:
“Making the shortlist of these prestigious awards doesn’t mean that you have just done something special, it means that you have been making a difference over a significant period and your actions have caught the eye of the judges, therefore many congratulations to all this year’s shortlisted finalists. Care catering professionals around the country work tirelessly 365 days a year, ensuring that their residents feel safe, cared for and nourished. To recognise the achievements of just a small sample of these unsung heroes each year is both a pleasure and an honour.”
The overall winners will be announced at a special gala awards dinner on Thursday 3 October 2024, which is part of the NACC Training & Development Forum held at the East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham.
Well done team and huge congratulations on your finalist success!
