The activity schedule at St Fillans Care Home is always full of exciting activities, that not only entertain people of all abilities but challenge and educate them too. This is thanks to the work of the Lifestyle Coordinator working there, Samantha Farrow.
Samantha is very dedicated in her role and always strives to ensure the resident’s activity requests are listened to and reflected in the schedule. She works hard to ensure that everyone can take part, which sometimes means adapting activities and adding simple twists so they’re inclusive for all.
For her extraordinary work at the home and for keeping the residents in high spirits, especially during this pandemic, she has been nominated and shortlisted for a ‘Care Home Activities Organiser Award’ at the Great British Care Awards 2020.
These awards are nationally recognised and help to highlight the incredible efforts of those working in the care industry, so for Samantha to make it this far is a brilliant achievement.
The awards ceremony is usually prestigious and attracts people in many roles across the industry to celebrate the people being awarded for their work. However, due to the current pandemic, this year’s award ceremony is being hosted virtually on the 30th of October.
Everyone across the Excelcare group, especially her fellow team members at St Fillans Care Home are rooting for her to take home this award, as she thoroughly deserves it!
Good luck Samantha and congratulations for making it this far!!
