Today we’re celebrating the wonderful team at Rushey Mead Manor, who were nominated by Rachel Brown from Clarendon Group for a well-deserved team treat hamper.

Here’s why the team were nominated:

“I would like to nominate the team at Rushey Mead Manor for their exceptional commitment to inclusion, respect, and person-centred care.

The team consistently demonstrates a genuine understanding of the importance of recognising and celebrating the diverse cultural, faith, and religious backgrounds of the people who live within the home. They go above and beyond to ensure that every resident feels respected, valued, and supported to maintain their beliefs, traditions, and personal preferences.

One area where this is particularly evident is within the catering and dining experience. Supporting a wide range of religious and cultural dietary requirements requires careful planning, organisation, and attention to detail. The team works incredibly hard behind the scenes to ensure that residents have access to meals that not only meet their dietary needs but also reflect their cultural preferences and traditions.

What makes this even more special is that the team does this naturally and with genuine care. They create an environment where diversity is embraced, individual choices are respected, and everyone feels a sense of belonging. Residents and their families can be confident that their beliefs and values are understood and honoured.

The team's dedication to inclusion helps create a warm, welcoming, and respectful community where people are treated as individuals and supported to live in a way that is meaningful to them. Their compassion, understanding, and commitment to equality make a real difference to the lives of those they support every day.

The team at Rushey Mead Manor truly embodies the values of Pollard's Promise and are highly deserving of this recognition.”

To show our appreciation for everything the team does, we put together a team treat hamper as a small thank you for their continued dedication and the positive difference they make within their community.

We were delighted to hear how much the gesture meant to the team, who shared:

We are so very grateful for such kindness from everyone at Pollards Promises!

It’s a pleasure to recognise the Rushey Mead Manor team! Congratulations to the whole team  and enjoy your well-deserved team treat! 💜
