“Been A Very Rewarding Journey”, Says Staff Member At Stafford Home Who Celebrates 25 Years’ Service

A staff member at a Stafford home who has been working there for 25 years says it’s “been a very rewarding journey”.

Suzie Pritchard started working at MHA Weston and Queensway in 1999 and worked in housekeeping for three years before moving over to work as a care assistant, a role that she has been in for the last 22 years.

To mark the occasion the home arranged for Suzie to be presented with her certificate.

The home provides dementia nursing care for 70 residents.

Speaking after the presentation Suzie said: “I knew the 25th anniversary was coming.

“It’s been a very rewarding and pleasurable journey and one that I am very proud of.

“I love my job, I love where I work and it was always a desire of mine to work at MHA Weston and Queensway.

“The home has a real homely feel to it, and the staff and residents are great.

“I still get to see them as much as I did when I was working in housekeeping, and they are a huge reason as to why I am still here.

“Having been here as long as I have, you just pick up things and chip in wherever you can to make sure everyone is happy.

“I am very confident this will be my last job, and I will be here until I retire.”
