THE team at HC-One’s Pytchley Court care home in Brixworth, Northampton were delighted to receive a ‘Team Award’ at the Seaside Special by Chief Nurse for Adult Social Care, Professor Deborah Sturdy CBE FRCN.
The Seaside Special is a day organised at the home and represents everything to do with a trip to the seaside. This includes entertainment, fish and chips and ice creams. It was also an opportunity to celebrate nursing excellence at the care home.
Residents, staff and relatives from the residential, nursing and dementia care home attended the Seaside Special along with HC-One’s executive director of quality Anna Selby, Professor Graham Stokes, director of dementia and specialist service innovation, and managing director Bernard Mawoyo.
Residents were also delighted with a live performance from singer Dean, who entertained everyone.
Professor Martin Green OBE, HC-One’s Professor Graham Stokes, Professor Jacqueline Parks and adult nursing lecturer at the University of Northampton, Nicola Hamilton, also attended the Seaside Special.
Everyone enjoyed meeting the individuals and were very pleased when Deborah presented staff at Pytchley Court with a Team Award.
Home manager Susan Watson said: “It was an honour and privilege to receive this award for the team at Pytchley Court.
“The Seaside Special was enjoyed by us all and the added presentation just made the day more special for everyone in attendance.”
