Congratulations to Marion Jenkins, a finalist for a Great British Care Award! Rotherwood Healthcare’s Dorset House has been busy preparing for Christmas. But one present came early this year when Marion Jenkins, Head Chef at Dorset House Nursing Home, was nominated as a finalist for a Great British Care Award (GBCA) in the Care Home Chef category. Marion has been Head Chef at Dorset House for 17 years and has worked closely with Rotherwood to create a fantastic dining service at the home. A thorough interview was conducted over a video call in early December to aid judges in announcing the category winner. We spoke to Marion about her reaction to being nominated.
Oldham dementia team shortlisted for prestigious award Date published: 11 December 2020
Oldham dementia advisor Alima Sonne
An Oldham dementia team has been shortlisted for a major award as they continue to go above and beyond during the pandemic.
The five members of Oldham Dementia Services have been recognised for making themselves available to the people they support 24/7.
The team made the decision to keep their phones switched on throughout evenings and weekends because of the extra strain people living with dementia and their carers are currently under.
Oldham Dementia Service provides practical and emotional support to carers and people living with memory problems through one-to-one support and a number of groups.
