Old Malton Care Home Worker Recognised as ‘Sandstone Star’ for Dedication and Teamwork
A maintenance professional at Manor Park Care Home in Old Malton, part of Sandstone Care Group, has been recognised for his outstanding contribution after being named a Sandstone Star.
Marc Richardson, who works as a maintenance operative at the home, received the accolade in recognition of his commitment, reliability and the key role he has played in supporting the home during its construction and opening.
The Sandstone Star award recognises exceptional staff members from across Sandstone Care Group’s homes. To be eligible, colleagues must first be named Employee of the Month at their respective home before being considered for the overall accolade. The final decision is made by The Sandstone Care Group directors.
Marc was recognised for his dedication and willingness to ensure the home opened, and now operates, safely and smoothly.
Laura Clegg, registered commissioning manager at Manor Park Care Home, said: “Marc consistently goes above and beyond to ensure every task is completed to an exceptionally high standard, never giving up even in challenging situations. He has shown outstanding commitment to supporting the whole team, including coming in overnight to assist the night staff with fire alarms and safety tests. His dedication, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile played a vital role in supporting the home to open its doors safely, making him a great asset to Sandstone Care Group.
“Marc has been an incredibly important part of the team as Manor Park has established itself. His positive attitude, practical skills and willingness to help wherever needed make a real difference every day. This recognition is very well deserved.”
Marc said he was delighted to receive the award. He said: “It’s a real honour to be recognised in this way. I enjoy being part of the team at Manor Park and helping to make sure everything runs smoothly for residents and colleagues. It means a lot to know the work I do is appreciated.”
