Melanie Weatherley, Chair of Lincolnshire Care Association, added: “It’s been an honour to be able to host this event and recognise the cream of the crop from the care sector in Lincolnshire. Congratulations to all the finalists and winners. I meet brilliant care workers, nurses and leaders in the industry every day. We don’t often hear about their contributions and achievements but we should, because the work they do is so important and valued by the people they care for, and their colleagues.
“We wanted to promote care as a worthwhile career, so we thought, what better way to do it than to look for the best in care in Lincolnshire and recognise them through a fantastic night like tonight. We have had representatives from every part of the county and will definitely be holding another awards event next year.”
Glennis Standen, Eastwood Lodge, winner of the Lincolnshire Care Association Every Home Should Have One Award said: “I’ve been in caring for over 40 years now and enjoyed every minute.
