Caring UK Awards event director Dominic Musgrave said: "The Caring UK Awards are now in their seventh year and with more entries than ever before, our finalists really have reason to celebrate too as it’s a huge achievement to have made the shortlist and is testament to the teams behind each."

The awards are organised by Script Events in conjunction with the care industry magazine Caring UK, with support from headline sponsor Virgin Money.

Up to seven finalists have been selected in each category and they will now go through to the next stage of the judging process.

A Fourways Residential Home spokesperson said: "We would like to say a big thank you to our gardener Chris Morris who maintains our garden."
