Recent Nominations

I have found all the girls very helpful, and professional, assisting me when needed and allowing me to regain my confidence again, to become as independent as i can be.

Maxine is always efficient, reliable and polite. Her professionalism is so great that whatever my views and opinions of other individuals who I feel are letting their side down, I would be doing Stoke City Council a great injustice if I were not to nominate Maxine for this award.Knowing that Maxine is dependable and can think on her toes must take an enormous amount of pressure off the Chief Executives shoulders.Creme always floats to the top which is no doubt where Maxine will remain for a long, long time!

She is so sensitive and helpful in every way, she has so many qualities too numerable to put on this form. She has such insight on peoples problems. I moved in here after a real bad time due to a stroke and many health problems while trying to care for my husband who was diagnosed with alzheimers and a brain tumor (non cancerous). I was in a tiny flat, unsuitable for my needs, she got me a larger flat. She even carried a large chair to loan me while i waited for mine to be made. She works so hard and really does go beyond the call of duty. She surely deserves acknowledging for everything and how hard she works.

Julie covered my internet/email, whilst i was in hospital and after, when I was recovering from my brain operations. She also covered my ward work with responding to residents concerns by email and telephone, she also entered issues into the respond system. Julie did all this, whilst also doing her own job and her council duties and should be commended for exceptional help and assistance which was/is much appreciated.

I can now go out again on my own. I have been very happy with the service i received as everybody was so helpful and so nice and friendly

I think theyre great, helpful and friendly

Treats people with respect, knows her job! and gives excellent advice.

I recently did a home visit with Jill to a parent whose son had just received a diagnosis of autism. Jill showed Jacinta that she cared about her emothional wellbeing. After Jill left Jacinta felt that Jill went above and beyond her role to support her family and wanted to thank her for the support which she felt had been vital to her adjustment to the new of her sons disability during the long assessment process and ongoing. I also felt that Jills response to the family was very genuine and suggested a Wow Award!

All the staff in the Stroke Rehabilitation Team (Tina, Jo, Val, Arin, Adam and Matt) who have looked after me in the last 6 weeks. All have been very friendly, helpful and have treated me with great respect. I thank them all for their tremendous support in helping me to re-adjust to my home environment and enabling me to have some independence.
