A winning night for Tamar House
Tamar House Care Home in Plymouth enjoyed a successful evening at the Celebrating Excellence in Care Awards, an event organised by Plymouth City Council to highlight the outstanding contributions made each day within the adult social care sector.
Operations Manager, Jamie Graham, triumphed in the Care Home Manager of the Year category, while Lexie Witcher was highly commended in the Rising Star category.
Cllr Mary Aspinall, Plymouth City Council cabinet member for health and adult social care, said, “I’d like to congratulate every single one of our winners and say a big well done to everyone who was nominated. The work you do is so important and often underappreciated.
“These awards are a fantastic opportunity for us to shine a light on all the hard work that takes place every single day across the city to make sure adults with care needs are supported, looked after and helped to live fulfilling, healthy lives.”
