The Limes Residential Care Home Receives National Award For Providing Gold Standard End Of Life Care

The Limes has been awarded a national Gold Standards Framework (GSF) Quality Hallmark Award in recognition of the excellent end of life care they provide.

Registered Managers Eleni Dove and Joanna Dewen received the award on behalf of The Limes team at the GSF annual conference and awards ceremony on Friday 27th September at BMA House in London – a celebration of the UK’s exceptional health and social care providers for care in the final year of life.

The Limes was one of 140 organisations from across the country receiving the award in London (98 care homes, 1 primary care team, 5 domiciliary care agencies, 8 retirement villages, 1 prison healthcare team and 27 hospital wards).

Eleni Dove, Registered Manager says
“We are so proud to have received this award for a second time and achieved platinum status for our sustained commitment to the principals of the Gold Standard Framework. This is fantastic recognition for our incredible team of staff”,

She added: “From the moment someone walks through our door we want them to live the most fulfilling life they can. Moving into a care home shouldn’t be the end of a client’s story, so from the very first day we will work to collaborate with them and their relatives so that we can help them achieve their goals and live the best life possible”

Julie Armstrong-Wilson, Chief Operating Officer for GSF said:
“Congratulations to all the organisations who have successfully achieved accreditation and received the Quality Hallmark Award this year.”

“The standard of care and compassionate cultures that have been observed is truly inspiring, showing a commitment to ensuring people receive the right care at the right time which has a positive impact on the people cared for and their families. Listening to what matters most to each and every individual and providing care in accordance with their goals, wishes and preferences is the Gold Standard and these organisations are delivering it. Within the awards there are a number of organisations that have demonstrated their sustainability of GSF multiple times with six of the care homes achieving GSF Accreditation six times.”

“The GSF team are so very proud of all our Award Winners; with our ageing population it is so important we enable them to live well and when the time comes deliver quality care in their final year / days of life. A huge well done to you all!”
