A GRIMETHORPE care home has been named as one of the top sites in the Yorkshire and Humber for the fifth year running.
Dearnevale Care Home, based on Elizabeth Street, was voted as one of the top 20 homes in the county - out of a possible 1,423 - by residents and their families.
The award is based on reviews of the care home, written by those who use it and have family members there.
Helen McGowan, care home manager, said: “We’re absolutely over the moon to achieve this status for the fifth year running.
“This award is special as it comes from the reviews generated by our service users and their families.
“It’s an honour and a pleasure to care for our service users and it means so much that their families submit such wonderful reviews.
“The team constantly strives to deliver excellent care and to be recognised in this way means so much to us all.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
