Home manager at Mills Meadow, Marie Reeve, said: “We are thrilled to have been nominated for two awards this year. Person-centred care is of huge importance to us, because we know that no two residents are the same and everyone’s needs and wishes are different. I know there will be so many worthy winners in both categories at each of the awards, but the team has everything crossed we will walk away winners.”
