These five awards show that every member of the team in the home cares for the residents that live here. Well done everyone! These awards are very well deserved.”
Madam Mayor Pam Stuart Mayor of Hitchin, said: “I was honoured to present these awards to the team today. Hearing nice stories about people in care homes is fantastic and should be celebrated.

I want to echo Christina’s sentiments and congratulate you all once again.”
