An Ellesmere Port care home worker is in the running for a major social care award.
Roxanne Morris, 40, has been described as the 'backbone' of residential home Rivacre, which is operated by national health and social care charity Making Space.
Roxanne has worked at Rivacre for more than two decades and started out as a general assistant, helping with duties including housekeeping, cleaning, laundry and catering.
Registered manager Dreena Davies nominated Roxanne for a Great British Care Award, saying that she was a prime example of excellence in social care and that she couldn't sing her praises highly enough.
Roxanne will find out whether she has won the north west heat of the national event at a gala dinner event at the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in Manchester, which she will attend with colleagues.
Dreena said: "Roxanne has worked at Rivacre since 2002 and I can't praise her highly enough. She has offered continuity and quality of care to the people living at Rivacre for over 20 years and really is a vital backbone to the service we offer.
Roxanne will find out if she has won the north west round of the Great British Care Awards on Saturday, November 9, 2024.
