Hot off the press
This issue is a true celebration of our amazing team members and managers, and in its pages we hear about the achievements and recognition of many individuals that go to make up the Nellsar family. Issue 20 shares 52 pages of insightful corporate news, special features and heartwarming stories and photos from our Homes.
Care Awards Success
This edition features news of our recent successes at the National Association of Care Catering Awards, where our talented Lulworth House Residential Care Home team were shortlisted for Care Establishment of the Year, and Princess Christian Care Home were thrilled to win the Catering Team of the Year category. Princess Christian’s End-of-Life Care Team were also shortlisted in the Team of the Year – Large Provider category at this year’s Surrey Care Awards in November.

Learning and Development
Our Learning and Development Manager Marisa Spice presents an inspiring update in this issue where she covers the graduation day of Loose Valley’s Manager Diana Serban, along with news on our recently qualified Nurses and Bromley Park’s Nursing Team plus the apprenticeship achievements of one of our team members at Sonya Lodge.

Welcome to the Team
The people who work for Nellsar create the very essence that is our sense of family, community and all round support for everyone we care for. We are really pleased to have welcomed three new managers to our team in recent months and we took the opportunity to ask them all a few short questions so we can get to know them!

Community Links with The Old Downs
With community and social sustainability being such an important part of our lives, our Care Homes’ focus on fostering links with their local communities is key. This time we cover those of The Old Downs Residential Care Home and learn about their connections with local churches, dance and music groups, pet therapists and their furry friends, and nearby attractions.

Meet our residents
Now a much-loved part of the Nellsar News is the regular Meet Our Residents feature. In this issue, we hear from three of our lovely residents at St Winifreds Care Home in Deal and two of our ladies at Hengist Field Care Home in Sittingbourne.
