In 2018, Avery Healthcare Group’s Astbury Manor Care Home secured two CAP Gold Awards for its housekeeping and catering provision – a rare achievement for a first-time CAP participant. Now the home, based in Bracknell, Berkshire, has repeated that achievement by landing twin CAP Gold Awards for a second successive year.
The CAP assessment team noted another impressive performance by the catering and housekeeping teams, with a special commendation for the exceptional attention to detail exhibited by both departments. Both teams improved upon their impressive scores from the previous year.
Simon Lawrence, Head of Culinary & Hospitality said: “Coupled with the Avery Group, the CAP Programme provides an essential measure of our service progression. To then see the standing improvement is especially pleasing and can only be good for our residents.”
The CAP Chief Assessor, Ian Jackson, praised the performance and congratulated the teams on the delivery of the 2018 CAP Action Plan and other initiatives, saying: “Great credit is due to all involved.”
The home also received well-deserved local press coverage for its achievement from the Wokingham Paper.
