Award winning and CQC rated ‘Outstanding’ live-in care provider, The Good Care Group, has been nominated for six awards recognising its expertise and best-in-class service in end-of-life and social care.
In the Palliative and End-of-Life Care Awards 2024, The Good Care Group has been shortlisted as a finalist in the category ‘Care at Home Provider.’ During 2023, The Good Care Group supported 83% of clients who were receiving end-of-life care to fulfil their wish to die at home.
The Group created a person-centred holistic care plan encompassing the client’s social, spiritual and clinical choices, right through to their wishes around after-death care.
Care Manager, Lynn Rogers, has been shortlisted as a finalist in the category ‘Care Manager – Community.’ Lynn has devoted the last 38 years to the pursuit of excellence in end-of-life care. She recently facilitated a client’s return home, to spend his last moments with family.
Professional Carer, Angie Polley, has also been shortlisted as a finalist in this category. Angie worked for many years with a client living with dementia, who later developed cancer. Angie supported the client to live well and fulfil her final wishes.
This included accompanying her to visit her family home, going back to the place where she used to go ballroom dancing as well visiting friends and different seaside towns.
The Good Care Group Head Office is also a finalist in The Stars of Social Care 2024 Awards in the ‘The Best Head Office Award’ category, while The Good Care Group Learning & Development Team has been shortlisted as a finalist in the category ‘The Learning and Development Award.’
Consultant Admiral Nurse, Jane Pritchard, is a finalist in the category ‘The Exceptional Home Care Nurse Award.’
During her seven years at The Good Care Group, Jane has played a pivotal role in transforming dementia care within the organisation. Most recently, this has involved planning and launching The Good Care Group’s new model of dementia care, EVER, standing for ‘Engagement, Validation, Enrichment and Relationships.’ This focuses on providing a person-centred approach which focuses on an individual’s needs, while helping carers better support family members to enhance their relationships with loved ones.
Darren Kennedy, Managing Director at The Good Care Group, said:
“Our clients afford us a great privilege in allowing us the opportunity to care for them at the end of their life. We take full responsibility to ensure we are doing all we can to provide the best possible care and support to them.
“We’re therefore honoured to have been recognised in categories across the Palliative and End of Life Care Awards 2024, a testament to the fantastic efforts of our team and individuals to ensure the wellbeing of people approaching end of life.
“We’re incredibly proud to be also recognised as finalists in The Stars of Social Care 2024 Awards, for offering outstanding at-home care to individuals and families. We achieve this through continually developing our care offering while providing a supportive learning environment for our carers to develop the necessary skills to provide the best care to our clients.”
