The home manager at The Orchard Care Home in Tullibody recently received an award recognising her contribution to the establishment.

Jane Aitken, who is in charge of the everyday running of the HC-One operated home, has received an HC-One Kindness in Care award last month. Jane is regularly seen spending time with residents, joining them for activities and making sure that they are comfortable.

She said: “I was thrilled to receive a Kindness in Care award. It also reflects the hard work that the whole team at The Orchard put in day in day out to ensure we deliver the kindest care to our residents.” Jane was presented the award by regional operations director Elizabeth Roscoe, who commended her for her excellence in leadership and her work to ensure all members of the care team are working together.

Paula Keys, regional managing director, added: “It is fantastic that Jane was recognised for the great work she does at The Orchard Care Home. She is a great example of the commitment of HC-One colleagues to providing the kindest care!”
