There is more exciting news to celebrate at Spratslade Care Home, as Home Manager Rebecca Bamford has been named a finalist in the prestigious Great British Care Awards.
Rebecca’s achievement follows the recent announcement that Spratslade’s Deputy Manager, Annette Martin, has also been shortlisted as a finalist, making it a remarkable double success for the home’s leadership team.


Being recognised by the Great British Care Awards, one of the sector’s most respected and influential organisations, is a tremendous honour. For two senior members of the same care home team to be shortlisted is a testament to the dedication, professionalism and culture that has been built at Spratslade.
Outstanding care does not happen by chance. It begins with strong leadership and a clear vision, setting the standard for everything that follows. From the way the home is managed and supported, to the commitment shown by staff, contractors and everyone involved in the day-to-day running of the service, excellence filters down from the top.
The recognition of both Rebecca and Annette highlights the collective effort that takes place behind the scenes every day to create a warm, safe and enriching environment for residents. Their leadership helps foster a culture where people feel valued, supported and empowered to deliver the highest standards of care.
Most importantly, these achievements are not simply about awards or industry recognition. They are about the positive impact that great leadership has on the lives of the people who call Spratslade their home. The better a home is run, managed and staffed, the greater the opportunities for residents to enjoy fulfilling lives, meaningful relationships and experiences that bring joy, comfort and purpose.
Everyone at Spratslade Care Home is incredibly proud of Rebecca and Annette’s achievements and wishes them the very best at the Great British Care Awards. Their success reflects the values, compassion and dedication that can be seen throughout the home each and every day, and serves as a wonderful reminder that exceptional care starts with exceptional people.
