Beaumont Park hero Tina is a fighter

Healthcare Homes colleagues were delighted to get together at a company conference and awards last week to recognize staff and teams who work throughout our family of 48 homes and 11 homecare branches.

And whilst it was recognized that every health and social care employee is undoubtedly a hero, and every Healthcare Homes team was awarded an Inspirational Team of the Year Award, managers had also been asked to recommend individuals for the Hero Awards 2022.

Tina Sturgeon, from Beaumont Park in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, was one of 24 individuals honored with a Hero Award.

Her nomination states that Tina is quite simply the heart and soul of Beaumont Park. She is always there to lift team spirits, motivating everyone to be better; not allowing folk to become down beat; telling them to stand tall and rise above whatever is thrown their way.

On the days where we have all thought ‘I cant do this anymore’ – Tina is there – that little voice in your ear saying ‘Team Beaumont are not quitters, we are fighters.’

She is described as having an extraordinary way of making people around her feel safe, confident, valued and supported. Without a shadow of doubt, Tina is the nuts and bolts of the home with her faultless dedication and commitment.

She really is the unsung hero of Beaumont Park.

Gordon Cochrane, chief executive officer, told the audience, “ I’m delighted to say that we were inundated with nominations for people that managers wanted to be recognized as absolute stars, the backbones of our homes and branches, the heroes we simply cannot do without and Tina is one of those heroes.”
