The team at Sanctuary Retirement Living’s Jubilee Court entered the 2020-21 Great British Care Awards.

Hayley Massey, who works as a Wellbeing and Inclusion Assistant, was shortlisted for the Care Home Activity Organiser award for the East of England Region.

She was nominated for her fun and engaging approach to organising resident activities and events.

Meanwhile, the entire Jubilee team was shortlisted for the Housing with Care award for their efforts in looking after resident needs given the additional challenges of lockdown.

“Covid-19 and lockdown has been challenging in many ways, so it’s great to have this recognition of the team’s hard work, and I’m sure it will lift everyone’s spirits.”

The awards ceremony is currently planned for April 2021 at the East of England arena.
