Falstone Manor care home in Sunderland is celebrating the work of Lynn Wallace as she was awarded a Kindness in Care Award.
Lynn was nominated by staff and family members for always having a positive outlook and putting Residents first during her 18 years as a team member at Falstone Manor.
The Kindness in Care Awards programme was launched by HC-One, a leading provider in health and social care, in October 2013. It recognises the efforts of their kindest colleagues, and the impact they have on the lives of Residents and their loved ones.
Month on month, record breaking numbers of awards are presented to colleagues, volunteers, and whole teams within the family of homes that HC-One operates across the UK.
All of the Residents at the home love Lynn as she is always smiling, happy and helpful, and stands out in the way she goes above and beyond to provide the kindest care to everybody living at Falstone Manor.
Alison Hunter, Home Manager, said: “Lynn always goes the extra mile for everyone, and this award is the best way to honour everything she does for the whole community at Falstone Manor. Life here truly wouldn’t be the same without her, and it’s really inspiring to work alongside somebody so kind and selfless. Lynn Wallace is exactly what HC-One is all about.”
