Agincare Heroes 2022
Our first ever Agincare Heroes Awards ceremony was held on the 27th June 2022 and made for an incredible event.
It was an honour to celebrate our nominated winners from all of Agincare’s services – the applause didn’t stop after the prizes were awarded!
Meet some of last year’s Agincare Heroes
Jackie Ash
Activities Co-ordinator Jackie Ash was the first winner of the Agincare Heroes award to be welcomed to the stage to collect her certificate and medal. Described as the ‘beating heart’ of Lansdowne Hill Care Home, she received numerous nominations from friends, colleagues and families of residents.
Always going above and beyond to bring joy to residents, Jackie was credited with ‘bringing the community into the care home and the care home into the community.’
During the ceremony, she was praised for her imagination and creativity which sees her entering the home into village competitions and baking cakes in her own time for the residents.
Yvette Stubbs
Amongst the winners from the live-in care teams was Yvette Stubbs, a care worker from Portsmouth.
Yvette was nominated for the Agincare Heroes award by the family of Hazel, whom she supported with end of life care for just over a year.
When Hazel was discharged from hospital, she was unable to mobilise without assistance from two care workers but, thanks to Yvette’s iron-will and determination, she made remarkable progress. So much so that Hazel was able to move independently in time to celebrate her 100th birthday at home with three generations of her family.
Having received the Agincare Heroes award, Yvette addressed the room with her thanks to Hazel’s family and gave a moving reflection on what caring for Hazel has meant to her.
David Lovelidge
Another of our worthy winners was Brighton Home Care Worker David Lovelidge.
Hosting the event, Director of Head Office Services, Adam Luckhurst introduced David as someone who has been able to find the good in everything, and emphasised his strength and compassion towards one client, Diana.
David shouldered a tough time for Diana and her family as they came to terms with her dementia diagnosis and even made an appearance as Father Christmas last year at the expense of time with his own family.
