Willow Rose, part of the Macc Care Group, saw Mehnoor Kaur recognised in the Palliative Care Worker category of the Palliative Care Awards, and Leanne O’Neill shortlisted for Dementia Care Worker in the Dementia Care Awards.
Mehnoor, a registered nurse who joined the profession at just 17, has become a beacon of calm and kindness within Willow Rose’s palliative care team. Among her many contributions to the quality of care at the home is the introduction of the Pocket Heart – a handmade keepsake she created to offer comfort to families who have lost a loved one, and which is now a cherished part of the home’s end-of-life care.
Leanne, who is a team leader on the dementia floor, was nominated thanks to being a driving force behind Willow Rose’s reputation for progressive, emotionally intelligent dementia care. Known for her calm presence and ability to de-escalate with empathy, she leads her team with compassion, ensuring residents feel safe and respected.
Bhav Amlani of Macc Care said: “We are immensely proud to see both Mehnoor and Leanne shortlisted for these prestigious awards. Their commitment to delivering person-centred, dignified care reflects our core values as a company, and helps make a meaningful difference to the lives of our residents and their families every single day. This recognition is a testament to their professionalism and the standard of care we strive to uphold across all our homes.”
The winners of the Palliative Care Awards will be announced on 27th of June at the Hilton London Bankside, while the winners of the Dementia Care Awards will be announced on the 19th of June at the Hilton London Bankside.
