AN INSPIRATIONAL care home manager from Leamington is in the running for a top award.
Francine Summers, who works at Care UK’s Priors House, has been shortlisted in the Inspirational Care Home Manager category of the Stars of Social Care Awards.
The nomination is reward for Francine’s personal approach to care, always putting residents’ needs first. This is highlighted during candidate interviews, where she always asks “what kind of home would you like to live in?”.
Francine said: “I never expected to be considered for an award like this. But it’s not just about me – it’s about the incredible team here and their ongoing support. Many team members have worked with me for five to 10 years, and together we’ve built a positive, collaborative environment.
“One of our favourite activities is ‘Foodie Fridays’, where residents and I discuss upcoming activities over cheese and wine. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with them and encourage trying new things.”
The winner will be announced at a special event at London Marriott Hotel, Regents Park on June 21.
