The past year has been difficult for everyone, but it has been especially difficult for our care homes as the Covid-19 virus has presented a particular threat to the lives of residents and staff in care homes for adults.
Yet throughout this time, the dedication and professionalism of staff in supporting residents, families and each other has been exceptional. Care home staff have demonstrated resilience whilst adapting to the challenges of Covid-19. The care home response to Covid-19 has involved new innovative activity, unprecedented collaboration and people going above and beyond the call of duty.
Therefore, the Care Home Awards is an important opportunity to recognise individuals, teams and companies, who are delivering care at an incredibly high standard in a challenging period and within an increasingly demanding work environment.[vc_btn title=”Find out more about the Awards & Finalists” color=”info” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fscottishcare.org%2Fcare-home-awards-2020%2F”][vc_btn title=”Buy tickets here” color=”info” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fscottishcare.org%2Fevent%2Fcare-home-awards-2020%2F”]
