A CARE provider in Congresbury has been handed an award for the way it looks after its staff.

The Optima Care Partnership Home, in Cleeve Court, was given the Investors in People Award last week.

MP John Penrose, who presented the award, said: “Providing care is a people business so I’m delighted that Optima are focusing so closely on investing in staff.

“It shows what high quality providers we have here in Somerset.”

The Optima Care Partnership Home provides care throughout the South West and has been operating homes since 1988.
