The Langston Nursing Home in Kingham has been awarded the Gold Standards Framework (GSF) Quality Hallmark Award at Platinum level, a national accolade that honours excellence in person-centred care for those approaching the end of life.
Presented at the GSF Annual Conference and Awards Ceremony at Eastside Rooms in Birmingham, the award highlights the home’s dedication to ensuring residents receive care that aligns with their wishes and needs.
Andrea Mociran, home manager at The Langston, said: “To be accredited with the Gold Standards Framework award at Platinum level is a huge achievement and reflects the hard work and dedication of our whole team.
“We are proud to provide high-quality, person-centred end-of-life care, ensuring that every resident is treated with dignity, compassion and respect.
“I am extremely proud of the whole team and everything they do to support our residents and their families.”
The Langston is one of 147 organisations across the UK to receive the GSF Quality Hallmark Award this year.
The GSF provides training and accreditation for health and social care teams to deliver personalised, coordinated care for people nearing the end of life.
Julie Armstrong-Wilson, chief operating officer for the Gold Standards Framework, said: “These achievements show the difference that can be made when end-of-life care becomes part of everyday practice.
“Across all health and social care settings, teams are becoming more confident identifying people earlier, understanding what matters to them and planning care around their wishes.
“We are incredibly proud of all the organisations that have committed to embedding this approach and continuing to improve the experience of people and families at an important time in their lives.”
The Langston said the award reinforces its commitment to supporting residents and their families with high-quality care at the most important time of life.
