An Ammanford care home has celebrated its fifth anniversary.

Llys Newydd Care Home, operated by HC-One, the third largest care home provider in the UK, marked the occasion on Monday, May 29 by inviting residents, their loved ones and colleagues to an afternoon tea party across its family of care homes throughout the UK.

As part of the celebrations, colleagues were recognised for their loyalty and years of service at Llys Newydd Care Home and every care home was challenged to make a special theme birthday reflecting the core value of HC-One, that being to provide the kindest care to residents.

The home took up this challenge to make a special birthday cake and staff were pictured with their long service awards. The cake was decorated with words both residents and staff associated with the home.

Marking the celebrations at the tea party, Chairman of HC-One Dr Chai Patel CBE FRCP said: “Over the last five years HC-One has been on an incredible journey. I am overwhelmed by the extraordinary work that every single one of our hard-working team of dedicated carers, nurses and home managers has done, along with the small army of support staff, to create an organisation that consistently delivers the kindest care in our sector.

“It is our aim to be the care provider of choice for those looking for the very best care and support, and the employer of choice for the best, most professional, and kindest care staff, and as a team, we are dedicated to delivering on this ambition.”
