A DAY of celebrations to thank care staff who make a real difference to the lives of those in their care was organised by Threshfield Court Care Home during National Carers Week.

Staff were treated to boxes of Luxury Chocolate Biscuits to enjoy during their tea breaks.

Staff also helped residents send ‘Thinking Of You ‘postcards to family members who have been unable to visit due to lockdown but who had still given their support.

Carers Week is an annual event to raise awareness of caring, highlighting the challenges carers face, and recognising the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK..

Ana Pantaleon acting General Manager said: “I am very proud of the carers at Threshfield Court in light of the current situation our carers have continued to work tirelessly to provide high quality, personalised care to the people living in our homes, and often go above and beyond the call of duty, which has a huge impact on people’s lives.”
