Inglefield Nursing & Residential Home, Totland Bay, has been awarded a national Gold Standards Framework (GSF) Quality Hallmark Award in recognition of the superb end of life care provided by its team.
The award was presented at the GSF Annual Conference and Awards Ceremony on Friday, 26 September at the Eastside Rooms in Birmingham – a national celebration of organisations dedicated to providing compassionate care across the UK.
Inglefield was one of 172 organisations honoured – among 139 care homes, 10 domiciliary care agencies, 3 retirement villages, 17 hospital wards, and others across healthcare settings.
“We are deeply honoured to receive this recognition. It reflects the dedication, compassion and professionalism of every member of our team – from our nurses to care staff, kitchen, housekeeping and all who support our residents and their families. This award isn’t about us – it’s about the people in our care, and our commitment to walking with them, and their loved ones, through life’s most sensitive moments.” – Charlotte Willis, Home Manager.
Julie Armstrong-Wilson, Chief Operating Officer of GSF, said:
“We are delighted to congratulate all the organisations that have achieved accreditation and received the Quality Hallmark Award this year. This year we have had the most organisations apply for accreditation since we commenced the accreditation process over 15 years ago.
The quality of care and the compassionate cultures we have seen are truly inspiring, reflecting a deep commitment to ensuring people receive the right care at the right time – making a real difference to them and their families. These organisations exemplify the Gold Standards Framework standards by listening to what matters most to each individual and delivering care in line with their goals, wishes, and preferences. Supporting our ageing population to live and die well is so important – our Award Winners are leading the way in demonstrating what good end of life care looks like. A huge congratulations to you all.”
