CHELSTON Park Nursing and Residential Home near Wellington has been awarded the Gold Standards Framework Platinum Award. 

The Gold Standard Framework (GSF) aspires to ‘deliver training and support that brings about individual and organisational transformation, enabling a gold standard of care for all people nearing the end of life’. 

The home said: “To achieve the award requires our team to work closely with residents, their relatives and other health care professionals to ensure we provide the highest possible care for all our residents and their families, especially when it comes to end of life care. 

“This is the third time in a row we have been awarded the GSF, the first being in 2012. Our staff work really hard to maintain the level of care necessary to achieve the award.”

The home added: “We have just heard back from St Margaret’s Hospice that its open gardens event which we helped to host raised a total of £16,600.

“Given the success of the event, we hope to host it again next year. Thank you to all the people who turned up to spend a June summer’s day with us in our garden.’’
