It’s good to see that Avery Healthcare has, once again, chosen to highlight CAP Gold Awards on its corporate website – this time for those presented to its Crispin Court care home. We are always delighted that the company values the achievements of its staff so highly. And it’s rewarding to see the housekeeping and catering teams receiving recognition for their hard work.

Crispin Court, based in Stafford, was the first of the Avery Healthcare homes to join the CAP Awards programme, achieving CAP Gold awards for Housekeeping and Catering in September 2017. On 29th January this year (2019), the teams retained those accreditations within the programme.

In the report of our unannounced assessment, we complimented the organisation on retaining its awards with new heads of department and a new home manager in place. Credit goes to them as well as the teams.

Our professional assessments are hugely objective, that’s the point. But there’s always room for a little subjectivity: in Crispin Court’s case, we raved about the lovely display of homemade cakes served during afternoon tea.

In fact, the food on offer throughout the day was plentiful, with breakfast to order, mid-morning trolley with biscuits, crudities and fruits, and beautifully-seasoned individual lamb & mint pie for supper.
