The Dignity in Care Awards is a campaign aimed at spotlighting experiences of outstanding care in Oxfordshire.
Every year we are amazed by the stories that come out of the awards. From unpaid carers to services going the extra mile to ensure that the people being cared for feel supported in their everyday lives.
One of last year’s winners was the sole carer for her husband diagnosed with Young Onset Dementia, another winner was a care home that went above and beyond to support a young man and ensure that he was able to maintain his independence. One winner was described as a “god send” who, when he visited, was able to make the recipient of care “his old self again”.
But to get these stories and raise awareness of what good quality care means we need people to make nominations. The nominations are open to all ages of people across Oxfordshire.
The deadline to send in nominations is Monday 2nd October 2017.
