Making everyday exceptional for our residents
Everyone at Coombe House Residential Care Home is celebrating after receiving two honours and a highly commended accolade at the Berkshire Care Awards – Celebrating Excellence in Care.
The family-run care home was delighted to win the Promoting Well-being Award, recognising the outstanding care, compassion and dedication shown every day to support residents' happiness, independence and quality of life.
Adding to the celebrations, Senior Carer Jenny Ridley received a Long Service Award, honouring her years of commitment and invaluable contribution to the home. The award recognises not only her dedication but also the positive difference she has made to the lives of residents, families and colleagues over many years.
Coombe House was also awarded Highly Commended in the Manager in Care category, with Home Manager Suzanne Howard recognised for her outstanding leadership, supported by Deputy Manager Sarah Windebank. Together, they have helped create a caring and supportive environment where both residents and staff can thrive.
Suzanne said: "We are incredibly proud to have received this recognition from Berkshire Care Association. These awards reflect the kindness, care and teamwork shown by every member of our staff each and every day.
"Supporting the wellbeing of our residents is at the heart of everything we do, and these achievements belong to our whole team. Every member of staff plays an important role in making Coombe House a warm, caring and happy place to live, and I am incredibly grateful for their hard work and support."
