Care Awards 2020

Rose Lodge Care Home on Careers Way, Cobblers Lane in Newton Aycliffe were delighted when Activities Coordinator Diane Tweddle was nominated for Most Innovative Activities Programme of the year for the North East Region in the Maria Mallaband and Countrywide Care Awards.

The awards were created to acknowledge the efforts of staff and the impact they have on the lives of residents and their families. Residents, colleagues, relatives and visitors place a vote and a finalist is chosen from each region.  Nicki Wheatley, Home Manager at Rose Lodge Care Home said, “I am absolutely delighted that Diane has been chosen to be a finalist for the region and representing Rose Lodge. Diane would be a very deserving winner of this award as she has completely changed the activities programme at the home and the community involvement and support for Rose Lodge has became a huge part of our residents lives. Our residents always look forward to seeing Diane when she is on shift and she brightens up the home.”. 

The awards which will be announced via a live video link from Head Office are due to take place in August and the home will celebrate with afternoon tea with the residents.
