The winners of the first Amica Care Trust Awards have been announced, with colleagues across our 5 care homes and 4 independent living sites recognised for their hard work and dedication throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our Amica Care homes held an uplifting service to commemorate residents who passed away over the last year. Residents and staff, along with the families came together for a moving afternoon of remembrance.
Amica Care is going to be using TAP (Thank And Praise), a free-to-use social thanking platform, which enables residents and their relatives to show their appreciation to all those working for the Trust.
