✨ **Finalists for the Co-Production Award!** ✨
At The Close Care Home, we’ve always believed that the best care is built on the foundation of **teamwork, respect, and collaboration**. That’s why being recognised in the **Co-Production Award** category is such a huge honour. This award celebrates initiatives that go above and beyond in bringing together everyone involved in the care process—those who use our services, their families, our skilled caregivers, and health professionals. It recognises our collective effort to work in partnership, ensuring that **every voice is heard** and that care decisions are shaped by the people who matter most—our residents.
Our nomination is a reflection of the **innovative and inclusive practices** we’ve implemented, where we continuously listen, adapt, and improve based on the needs and desires of the people we care for. Whether it’s creating new activities, fine-tuning care plans, or exploring creative ways to provide comfort, our approach is always led by **the people at the heart of our service**. To be acknowledged for this approach is a huge accomplishment, and we couldn’t be prouder to represent the very best of collaborative, people-centred care.
