Devoted colleagues at a Tipton Care Home have been honoured at a special garden party celebration after twelve of the team reached an incredible 20-year+ service milestone.

The care industry is well-known for high staff turnover, making Ryland View’s incredible team record exceptionally impressive.

Residents joined in the fun as Home Manager Rico Cruz and Ian Brown from the home’s operator Advinia’s HR Team paid tribute to the contributions made and presented trophies.

Rico said: “The people are the heart of our wonderful care home, and I cannot thank our wonderful colleagues enough for the many years they’ve dedicated to caring for residents here. It speaks volumes that you’ve chosen to work at Ryland View for over two decades – those years are not just a number but a testament to your commitment and genuine care.”

Longest-serving staff Thelma Porter and Sarah Ward marked their 28-year milestones, while Debbie Wilson and Lesley Cameron reached 27 years. Maureen Cole and Noreen Akhtar reached 25 and 24 years respectively, while Lorna McPherson marked 23 years. Finally, Ranjit Sandhu celebrated 22 years, Shanti Kurian and Ranjit Heer reached 21 years, and Gemma Fear and Hamida Begum got to 20 years of service.

Ian said: “It is with great pleasure and pride that we recognise the individuals who have committed themselves to Ryland View for many years. These individuals have played an instrumental role in the growth and success of this care home.”
