Nicholas James Care Homes Receives 12 Nominations Across Six Categories at the Palliative & End of Life Care Awards

We are incredibly proud to announce that Nicholas James Care Homes has received 12 nominations across six categories at the Palliative & End of Life Care Awards.

This remarkable achievement is a reflection of the compassion, dedication, and professionalism shown by our teams every day. Caring for someone at the end of their life is one of the greatest responsibilities we can have, and these nominations recognise the commitment our colleagues demonstrate in ensuring every resident is treated with dignity, respect, and kindness.

Our nominations include:

• The Excellence in Palliative Care Nursing Award (Independent)
• The Palliative Care Team Award for Residential and Nursing Homes (Independent)
• The Ancillary Worker Award
• The Bereavement Support Award
• The Workforce Development Award
• The Partnership Working Across Health & Social Care Award

Receiving recognition across such a wide range of categories highlights the collaborative approach taken across our homes. Delivering exceptional end-of-life care is never the work of one individual alone—it is the result of nurses, carers, hospitality teams, housekeeping, activities, management, and external healthcare partners working together to provide comfort, reassurance, and compassionate support.

These nominations also recognise our commitment to supporting families through every stage of their loved one’s journey. From providing emotional support and creating meaningful moments to working closely with healthcare professionals and investing in the continuous development of our teams, we remain dedicated to delivering care that is truly person-centred.

At Nicholas James Care Homes, our values of diligence, responsibility, compassion, individuality, and transparency are at the heart of everything we do. Every resident has their own story, wishes, and needs, and we are privileged to support them with care that respects their choices and celebrates their individuality.

To receive 12 nominations at these prestigious national awards is an achievement that every member of our team should be incredibly proud of. It reflects not only the high standards of care delivered across our homes but also the kindness, empathy, and commitment that define our organisation.

We would like to congratulate everyone who has contributed to this wonderful achievement. Your dedication makes a lasting difference to the lives of our residents and their families every single day.

We wish all of our nominees the very best and look forward to celebrating together at the awards ceremony.
