Telford care home employee wins prestigious ‘Sandstone Star’ award
A dedicated senior care practitioner at Telford Hall care home in Telford, part of Sandstone Care, has been recognised for her outstanding contribution by being named a Sandstone Star.
Danielle Merrick was selected as the Q4 2024 Sandstone Star, an honour awarded quarterly to an exceptional employee from across Sandstone Care’s nine care homes. To be eligible, staff must first be recognised as Employee of the Month at their respective care home before being considered for the overall accolade. The final selection is made by Steve Hamblett, Operations Director.
Praising Danielle’s dedication, Steve Hamblett said: "Danni really embraces her senior role, is so supportive to other colleagues and leads by example. She regularly goes over and above in her role and, despite some adversities, manages to work with a smile on her face. I know Karl, the regional manager, has been very impressed with her since joining us, and that demonstrates just how far she has come in the last year."
Danielle said: “This is really unexpected but I am so pleased. I love my job and making the residents feel safe and happy so this is the icing on the cake.”
The Sandstone Star Award highlights exceptional commitment, leadership, and a passion for providing outstanding care. Danielle’s recognition is a testament to her dedication to both residents and colleagues at Telford Hall.
