We have been shortlisted in Housing with Care Awards
Cross Keys Homes, along with our care service, Cross Keys Care, are celebrating being shortlisted in seven categories in the prestigious national Housing with Care Awards.
Cross Keys Care has been shortlisted in the Employer Award for the focus it places on its employees, their wellbeing, training and its continuous investment in its people. Our Retirement Housing team has also been shortlisted in the Housing Team award for the exemplary service it provides for the over 65s who live in its retirement living communities across Peterborough. The team provide secure and independent living for individuals and couples in 26 communities of flats and bungalows, many with communal spaces and active social clubs.
A number of individuals are also recognised as finalists in the awards. From Cross Keys Care, Registered Care Manager, Gemma Roberts; Extra Care Manager, Gerardine Church and Housekeeper, Catherine Jenner were shortlisted in their respective categories. Meanwhile, from Cross Keys Homes Gardener, Simon Belham and Communities Activities Support Co-Ordinator, Ac Lloyd-Williams have been shortlisted for their work in the retirement living communities.
We are the region’s largest providers of independent living solutions for older people, supporting them to live independently in their own homes through their LifeLine personal alarm system, community care service as well as retirement living and extra care housing communities.
Claire Higgins, our Chief Executive, said of the news: “Both Cross Keys Homes and Cross Keys Care are dedicated to excellence in everything we do, and it is fantastic to have this commitment recognised. We provide a truly people focused service – for our residents, service users and our employees. Without great employees we wouldn’t have the service we have and the happy residents! I’m delighted that we have been recognised as great employer and that so many of our employees have been recognised for the great service they provide.”
All the finalists will now go forward to the national Housing with Care Awards being held in London this June.
