The event is an opportunity to recognise team members who 'go above and beyond' in supporting the residents in their care homes.

The finalists were nominated by colleagues, peers and residents in categories which included Exceptional Newcomer Award, Nurse of the year and Going the Extra Mile.

The host for the evening was Big Ian Donaghy who said: "It was inspiring to hear such selfless stories of people who change residents lives every day, a celebration of not just individuals but the teams they make up, it really felt like everyone had the same goal."

Michaela's colleagues described her as 'compassionate, caring and respectful' saying the unit is spotless, mealtimes run smoothly, additional activities and events take place, and she goes above and beyond for the residents.

"She has developed a loving and caring bond with them all and they are always extra happy when Michaela is on shift.", they said.

Keith Crockett, CEO of Lovett Care said: "Tonight is all about our team members, who make such a difference, we are so proud of each and every one of you and hope you go away as proud of yourselves too."

Lovett Care operates nine care homes in the North West and Wales, with a commitment to high quality residential, nursing and dementia care.
