Kidderminster Care Home Resident Recognised for ‘Outstanding Contributions’ in Glamourous Awards Ceremony

Foley Grange care home resident, John Clarke, has been recognised in the Ideal Care Awards in the ‘Outstanding Resident Contribution’ category.

The Ideal Care Awards seek to recognise Ideal Carehomes’ team members and residents across all 36 care homes.

John was named the winner in the Resident Outstanding Contribution Award by the Ideal Care Awards judges for ‘offering support to staff and residents alike, welcoming new members of the family and helping them to settle in, taking a lead with big decisions, and encouraging other residents to be involved in creating a resident-led culture.’

John’s win was announced at a glitzy ‘dress to impress’ awards ceremony on 17th April 2024, held at the Radisson Blu Hotel in the East Midlands and hosted by celebrity guest, Shaun Williamson.

John said, ‘I am over the moon! I don’t do the things I do for praise or reward, I do them because I want to help others in honour of my late wife who passed away – I want to make her proud.’

Hannah Atkinson, the Home Manager at Foley Grange, added, ‘The moment John’s name was announced I felt so proud. John is such a huge part of the Foley Grange family – he truly is the heart of our home.’
