A CARING Redditch woman has been honoured for her work with Droitwich Spa’s elderly residents.
Bernie Simmonds travels from her Redditch home to work at St John’s Nursing Home, St Peter’s Walk, Droitwich.
Her kind efforts for residents at the care facility were recognised when she was awarded a prize at the regional Shaw Star Awards, an achievement that saw her come in the top three in the deputy manager category.
She was presented with a framed certificate, badge and cheque after coming ahead of other carers from 14 homes throughout the West Midlands.
The award ceremony took place at The Solihull Moors Football Club on February 3.

It is so refreshing to post such a news item. We often hear about outrages elder abuse in nursing homes; yet there are many, many care workers who are hardworking and caring.
I would like to acknowledge the great work done by many home-, family-, and nursing homes workers.
We must try to remember that the few 'bad apples' in the barrel do not infer that the rest are bad too.
