Orchard Care Homes’ commitment to resident needs wins them top accolade at Stars of Social Care Awards

Orchard Care Homes starred at the Stars of Social Care Awards this week, winning the trophy for Outstanding Care Home Provider as well as being shortlisted in a further three categories.

The awards are now in their third year and aim to highlight the most deserving people in the sector – paying tribute to the workforce for their dedication and commitment to care.

In winning the award, the judges said: “Orchard Care Homes deserves the Care Home Provider award for their unwavering commitment to personalised inclusive care. Through their Reconnect specialist dementia care communities, they offer personalised environments that promote independence and well-being.

“By embracing comprehensive training and development programs, they ensure staff deliver bespoke care plans resulting in significant improvements in resident outcomes. Their collaborative culture and dedication to staff recognition further highlight their excellence in care provision.”

Orchard was also nominated for Inspirational Care Home Manager (North), Care Home Design and Technology and Innovation.

Hayden Knight, CEO of Orchard Care Homes, said: “This is very much an award for each and every person who works at Orchard Care Homes. The judges said some very complimentary things about the work of colleagues across our homes; this would not be possible without their dedication and commitment towards making sure every resident lives their best possible life with us.”

It’s proved to be a successful time for Orchard Care Homes, as the company was shortlisted in five categories at the Dementia Care Awards and a further two at the Health Investor Awards. 

Orchard Care Homes operates 23 homes in the Midlands and across the north with specialist dementia care services. Each home makes great efforts to personalise the care every resident receives, with activities and reminders from that person’s past to help evoke comforting memories.
