The care home was one of nine within the company to receive the award. Home manager Sue Stokes said: "We realise that one of our most significant assets is the people who work with us. We always aim to give our team the knowledge, skills and motivation they need to provide a first class service and the award will help us to do this further. By recognising the importance of staff and valuing their contribution, the IIP award will help everyone to develop their potential, gain greater job satisfaction and provide an excellent service to residents at Westmead."
