At Buckland Care, we believe it’s often the small, thoughtful moments that make the biggest difference – a smile, a kind word, or an extra helping hand when it’s needed most. That’s why we’ve introduced the GEM (Going the Extra Mile) Awards across our homes.
The GEM Awards are our way of recognising and celebrating the people who bring heart, warmth, and a little sparkle to everyday life. From staff members who live our Buckland Values, to the individuals who brighten a resident’s day, these awards highlight the people who truly go above and beyond.
Our Buckland Values
Create Positivity
Empower & Grow
Respect Everyone
Care with Compassion
Celebrate Individuality
Each month, residents, families, staff, and visitors can nominate someone who deserves to be recognised. Home Managers then select a monthly winner, who receives a certificate and a shopping voucher as a token of appreciation.
With all of our homes taking part, the GEM Awards are a wonderful way of sharing good news, celebrating kindness, and shining a spotlight on the moments that matter.
Because at Buckland Care, it’s not just what we do – it’s how we do it, with compassion, respect, and genuine care for one another.
Look out for the posters in the homes, with details on with how you can nominate.
