A Great Yarmouth nursing home has been recognised for their compassionate care for the third time in a row.
Eversley Nursing Home manager Ewa Kujawa and nurse Philip Schneider received the Gold Standards Framework's highest Platinum accreditation in an awards ceremony in London.
The Gold Standards Framework is a practical, systematic and evidence-based end-of-life care service improvement programme.
Mrs Kujawa said a huge amount of work went into achieving the Platinum standard, adding: “This is a whole team achievement.
"We are so proud to have achieved this prestigious national recognition for a third time.
“It involves advanced staff training, good collaboration with professionals, including our GPs, and good advance planning with families and bereavement support. It’s a really wide spectrum.
“The home is so popular we invariably have a waiting list for residents and we can’t wait for work to start later this year on a luxury, rebuild of Eversley.”
The work at the North Denes Road site, part of Kingsley Healthcare, will be phased to ensure no disruption to existing residents.
