In its second year as a CAP Programme participant, Avery Healthcare Group’s Grove Park Care Home has landed CAP Golds for both its housekeeping and catering provision. Based in Headingly on the outskirts of Leeds, this excellent achievement builds on the home’s 2018 performance.

Last year, Grove Park’s housekeeping team did achieve the highest accolade: a CAP Gold Award. The catering was rewarded with a CAP Silver. Now, after an unannounced visit from the independent CAP inspection team on 28th November 2019, both departments have secured CAP Gold, and both have demonstrated measurable improvement over the past 12 months.

Simon Lawrence, Head of Culinary and Hospitality at Avery Healthcare, commented: “I know from personal experience that both teams have worked extremely hard on their CAP goals for 2019 and am delighted to hear of their excellent results – brilliant news.”

Ian Jackson, CAP Chief Assessor, added: “With the high quality of the feedback from residents’ and comments praising the housekeeping and catering services, Grove Park should take a great deal of satisfaction from this fine achievement. The two CAP Golds are richly deserved.”
