Forget the Oscars, Donisthorpe Hall care home has handed out its own brand of honours - the Doni - to its dedicated members of staff.
The Doni gong got the awards season off to a glittering start at the care home's annual festive party, where accolades were given across the board, covering the whole spectrum of services and nursing care that Donisthorpe Hall offers, including clinical, non-clinical, house-keeping, laundry, physiotherapy and hair-dressing.
Winners were praised for their compassion, for their professionalism and "the ability to go that extra mile" to ensure the comfort and care of residents remains at a high standard.
Donisthorpe Hall's hairdresser Shirley Solk said she was thrilled to receive a long-service award. "It's a joy to work here, everyone is so kind and caring. In the salon the residents love nothing better than to chat. One gets to know all about their lives and families. These are people who have added richly to our community over the years."
