Double Success at the Scottish Care Awards

On Friday 17th November, the prestigious Scottish Care Awards were hosted at the Hilton Hotel, Glasgow. This great annual event honours excellence in the care home sector and shines a spotlight on outstanding achievements in 13 award categories.

The team at Manor Grange Care Home in Pinkhill, Edinburgh was delighted to have 2 finalists: Maureen Cameron, Well-being Coordinator in the category of Ancilliary and Support Staff and Brogan McKay, Team Lead in the category of Emerging Talent. Attending the event were both ladies along with their Home Manager, Lesley Stewart and other colleagues.

To everyone's delight, both Maureen and Brogan won their categories and were presented with their awards by Michelle McManus in front of a packed audience.

Lesley Stewart, Manor Grange Care Home Manager commented, "we were so delighted for Maureen and Brogan that they were selected to be finalists as they are two amazing individuals that bring so much to the lives of our residents, families and colleagues but to come away with two awards was just gold and a very special moment for them and everyone at the care home".   

Lesley went on to further comment; "Maureen has worked at the home for 6 1/2 years and is a selfless individual who works tirelessly to contribute significantly to the health and well-being of not only our residents but also their families, team and the local community.  She is at the heart of arranging activities that are aligned with our residents' likes and preferences, she is a fantastic asset and team player for the home, and she is most definitely a worthy winner. Brogan started working with us in January 2022 as a Care Assistant and very early on we could see that she had some amazing skills and was quickly promoted to a Senior Carer and more recently to a Team Lead. She has always demonstrated exemplary professionalism and exceptional dedication which has had an enormous impact on our holistic approach and delivery of care, she's definitely one to watch for the future as her career progresses. To say that I am proud is an understatement concluded Lesley. I am privileged to work with such kind and dedicated colleagues and the recognition this brings to both ladies and the home is nothing more than the team deserves, they are simply the best".
