A SENIOR care practitioner at Telford Hall care home in Telford, part of Sandstone Care, has been recognised for her outstanding contribution.
Danielle Merrick was selected as the Q4 2024 Sandstone Star, an honour awarded quarterly to an employee from across the operator’s nine care homes.
To be eligible, staff must first be recognised as Employee of the Month at their respective care home before being considered for the overall accolade. The final selection is made by operations director Steve Hamblett.
He said: “Danni really embraces her senior role, is so supportive to other colleagues and leads by example. “She regularly goes over and above in her role and, despite some adversities, manages to work with a smile on her face.
“I know Karl the regional manager has been very impressed with her since joining us, and that demonstrates just how far she has come in the last year.”
The Sandstone Star Award highlights exceptional commitment, leadership and a passion for providing outstanding care.
Danielle added: “This is really unexpected but I am so pleased. I love my job and making the residents feel safe and happy so this is the icing on the cake.”
