Bembridge Care Home Receives National Award For Providing Gold Standard End Of Life Care

The Limes residential care home in Bembridge 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 September 27 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.

“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”

GSF provides end of life care training and accreditation for frontline staff in health and social care.

Everybody deserves gold standard end of life care.
