Hallmark Care Homes has won two prestigious Pinders Healthcare Design Awards; the provider celebrated its eighth Pinders award in nine years at the ceremony held at the Lancaster London Hotel in Westminster.
At the ceremony, Arlington Manor, Hallmark’s facility in Girton, Cambridge was awarded the ‘Best New Care Home’ title followed by the care group, which scooped a surprise award for its ‘Outstanding Contribution to Care Home Design.’
The national awards, established in 1999, seeks to acknowledge the contribution made by designers, architects and the owners of care homes, hospitals and other care schemes to the wellbeing and quality of life of those in their care.
Arlington Manor provides residential, nursing and dementia care and has facilities such as a hair salon, therapy room, cinema room and café.
Design innovations at the home include a physio room, a music room, a celebrations room that can be reserved for functions, a winter and summer terrace and an outdoor putting green.
Meanwhile, outside there are landscaped gardens designed by the late award winning landscape architect David Fountain.
Hallmark Care Homes chair, Avnish Goyal, says: “We are absolutely delighted that the hard work and vision of the past and present team have been recognised over the last 10 years, having 11 care homes in the finals, winning Best New Care Home eight times.
“The team are really excited about continuing to innovate for the future and are looking forward to the next 10 years.”
