Graeme Hendry, director of Avondale Care (Scotland), which runs the facility, said: “The management and staff were absolutely delighted when I told them.

“They’ve worked so hard. It’s doubly hard working in a care home these days, trying to deliver a high quality of care but you’ve also got coronavirus to worry about.

“It’s because of the great management and staff that we got nominated. Hopefully we win it this time. It would mean so much to the staff.”
