Here at CHD Living, we’re celebrating - again!


We’re delighted to announce that we’ve been shortlisted as a finalist in the prestigious Health Investor Awards.


This week, we’re sharing details of the awards and how we achieved this wonderful nomination for our dedication to care services for the elderly:

 

HealthInvestor Awards Finalists

As a family-owned care group, we’re dedicated to ensuring that we always deliver exceptional person-centred care services for the elderly. CHD stands for ‘Creating Happiness Daily’ which is something we always strive to achieve.


It is, therefore, an honour to be shortlisted as a finalist for a national care award, in the ‘Residential Care Provider of the Year – (small group)’ category, which recognises significant achievements in the healthcare sector across the UK.


We’ve been providing quality care services for the elderly in our communities for over 40 years and are committed to continuing to grow and improve. We’ve been recognised for our achievements over the last 18 months, which included the implementation of extensive refurbishments and developments at Brownscombe Care Residences in Haslemere, Surrey.


The project included creating 25 large, private en-suite bedrooms alongside eight luxury, supported
living apartments for those requiring residential, nursing and respite care.

Care Services for the Elderly: About the Awards

Promoting excellence and recognising innovation in the independent healthcare sector, the HealthInvestor Awards was initially established in 2006, where it held its first annual awards for leaders in the private healthcare sector.


There are six other brilliant finalists in the category, and the overall winner will be revealed on June 8th at the luxurious JW Marriott Grosvenor House, London - where industry professionals will gather to pay homage to all that is great about the care sector.


Our Head of Hospitality and Communications, Shaleeza Hasham, said: “We are
absolutely delighted and humbled to receive a shortlisting in the prestigious HealthInvestor Awards 2022.


“CHD Living stands for ‘Creating Happiness Daily’, and this ethos extends to both the people we care for, as well as our valued staff. To be nominated for the ‘Residential Care Provider of the Year’ award is just incredible.


“We are lucky to have such a caring, hard-working and dedicated group of individuals working for CHD Living. The team helps us achieve our long-term business goals and have been integral to the shortlisting received.


“We are excited to attend the awards ceremony and, irrespective of the outcome, are very proud of what our care home group has achieved over the past 18 months.”
