Andy Cowling is a Home entertainer at The Old Rectory, part of independent healthcare provider Southern Healthcare.
He was nominated for the ‘Best Activities Co-ordinator’ Award.
Andy Cowling said: “My role as home entertainer is to help promote a loving and caring environment within our home, and being supportive to residents, staff and families. It’s a job that I absolutely love doing and find so rewarding, and get great support from the rest of the team, so it’s an honour to be shortlisted in the National Dementia Care Award.”
Winners of the National Dementia Care Awards will be presented with their trophies by John Middleton at the high profile Gala Night held on Thursday 9th November at Doncaster Racecourse attended by over 400 guests.
