Danielle is Care Worker of the Year!
Danielle Hooper has been named Care Worker of the Year at our Agincare Heroes Awards 2023. Just 13 winners out of our 4,000 strong workforce nationwide were presented with a prestigious award following nominations from the people they support and their families, health and social care professionals, colleagues and the general public earlier this year.
Danielle, who works at Gorseway Park Care and Nursing Home, joined other category winners from across the country to collect her award from Agincare Chief Executive Raina Summerson, and Founder and Chairman Derek Luckhurst at a ceremony held at The Manor Hotel Castle Combe in Wiltshire.

I am incredibly honoured and grateful to have been awarded Care Worker of the Year. This recognition means the world to me, as it validates the passion and dedication I have poured into my role as a team leader at Gorseway.
It is truly humbling to be acknowledged for the work I love doing every day. I would just like to express my heartfelt appreciation to all whom nominated me and I am more determined than ever to continue providing compassionate care.
