Sharon is a hero at Cedar Court

Healthcare Homes colleagues were delighted to get together at a company conference and awards last week to recognize staff and teams who work throughout our family of 48 homes and 11 homecare branches.

And whilst it was recognized that every health and social care employee is undoubtedly a hero, and every Healthcare Homes team was awarded an Inspirational Team of the Year Award, managers had also been asked to recommend individuals for the Hero Awards 2022.

Sharon Lamb, from Cedar Court in Oxfordshire, was one of 24 individuals honored with a Hero Award.

Although Sharon has only worked in the home for a relatively short period of time, she has demonstrated remarkable leadership skills at a time when the home has been without a permanent manager.

Her commitment has been second to none and she has worked tirelessly with a group of staff to provide clear direction and supervision, whilst ensuring that high standards of care have been maintained. A truly dedicated and committed lady.

Gordon Cochrane, chief executive officer, told the audience, “ I’m delighted to say that we were inundated with nominations for people that managers wanted to be recognized as absolute stars, the backbones of our homes and branches, the heroes we simply cannot do without and Sharon is one of those heroes.”
