An independent Harrogate and Ripon home care company is celebrating success at the Great British Care Awards.
Six members of staff from Continued Care and the company itself were shortlisted for an award, with two winners and two highly commended.
At a regional ceremony in Leeds earlier this month Kristina Carr won the Dignity in Care Award and Nichola Noble the Care Assessor Award.
Highly commended awards also went to Mike Herrington for Ancillary Worker and to Continued Care for Care Employer.
Other members of the Continued Care team were shortlisted for Dementia Carer, Care Newcomer and the Three Rs (Recruitment, Retention and Recognition).
Continued Care’s director Samantha Harrison said the evening had been a fantastic celebration of the amazing work carried out every day by people in the social care sector.
She added:
Nichola and Kristina are very worthy winners of their awards. Well done to them, as well as all our staff who were shortlisted this year.
The most special thing about these awards is that people are put forward for them by their colleagues and the people and families they work with, so it’s an amazing feeling even to be nominated.
Continued Care was established over 30 years ago and offers home care services across Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon, Boroughbridge and Thirsk.
