Record number of long service awards at Hamble Heights care home
Published: 12th February 2020 14:58 |
Opened in 2013, Hamble Heights Care Home has been providing the highest levels of elderly care available including dementia, nursing and residential. Whether short-or long-term support is needed, Hamble Heights Care Home offers the very best care from top healthcare professionals – not only in terms of their experience but also their compassionate nature.
As testament to this, we have had nine members of staff recently celebrating five years of long service. Each were presented with a cheque for £500 and included Val Lewis, Vanessa Duggan, Toy Kerdseang, Dawn Ma, Halina Nazimak, Kathryn Snelgar, Roger Torres, Agnes Wrobel-Dryzmala and Melanie Booth.
The happiness and welfare of its residents lies at the heart of its culture of care that is to be found at all Encore Care Homes across the south.
Niki Richards, Home Manager at Hamble Heights care home says: “Care can be a demanding job and you’ve got to have people that are committed and dedicated. But they’ve also got to be supported and feel valued. It’s about knowing that you’re making a difference and achieving an inner satisfaction. We have such a great team at Hamble Heights that are exceeding all expectations.”
Niki added: “It’s being able to make sure that our staff are set up for success in their roles. We’ve got a backbone of staff that have shown dedication and commitment. These are the role models for existing and new staff. I’m proud to be leading a new, strong leadership team that can develop and shape careers.”
Emma Pallister, Group Head of HR of Encore says: “We are delighted to celebrate the long service awards for our nine employees at Hamble Heights Care Home. The awards are not so much for long service, but as a reward for loyalty. We are committed to staff retention and growth, which links to loyalty and dedication being the keys to the success of any organisation. The care sector can be notoriously difficult to attract and retain employees, Encore recognises this and takes every opportunity to ensure that success is celebrated.”
Hamble Heights is a purpose-built care home with 60 bedrooms, offering residential, nursing and dementia care. Situated in Fareham, the home has been at the centre of the local community since opening and is now recognised as an established care home serving the residents of Southampton and the surrounding areas.
The home is part of the Encore family that includes Great Oaks Care Home in Bournemouth, Fairmile Grange Care Home in Christchurch and Oakdale Care Home in Poole.
