We are delighted to announce Emma O'Sullivan from Amberwood Care Home Ltd as our Glad To Care Winner 2026.

Nominated by her manager, Katie Wade, Emma has been recognised for her unwavering dedication, compassion, and commitment to delivering exceptional care. As part of this well-deserved recognition, Emma has received a £100 Love To Shop Voucher.

Emma is the embodiment of what it means to be a carer. Caring for others is not just her job, it is who she is. She lives for her residents and is wholly dedicated to ensuring they receive the very best care, support, and quality of life possible.

Residents are always at the centre of everything Emma does. She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure they have what they need, what they want, and what will make them happy. Whether it is meeting a specific request, offering reassurance, or simply taking the time to listen, Emma always puts her residents first. There is truly nothing she would not do for them.

Emma's commitment extends beyond the residents themselves. She is incredibly supportive of her colleagues and takes great care to look after the staff around her. She understands that a happy, supported team delivers the best possible care, and she works tirelessly to create a positive, caring, and compassionate atmosphere throughout the home.

Her leadership, kindness, and dedication help ensure that resident care remains outstanding. Emma leads by example, encouraging others to maintain the highest standards while fostering a culture of warmth, respect, and teamwork.

What makes Emma so special is that her residents are always on her mind. She constantly thinks about their wellbeing, happiness, and comfort, and she never misses an opportunity to make their day a little better. Her compassion is genuine, her commitment unwavering, and the impact she has on the lives of residents, families, and colleagues is immeasurable.

Emma is an exceptional carer and an invaluable member of the team. She is thoroughly deserving of recognition for the incredible difference she makes every single day.
