We are thrilled to announce that both Hanover Court, Independent Living Housing in Haverfordwest, and West Wales Care and Repair have been nominated in the Housing with Care category at this year’s West Wales Health and Care Awards 2023.

This award recognises an individual or team providing person centred services to vulnerable people living in any kind of supported housing scheme.

The individual or team will need to demonstrate that they are meeting a range of complex care and support needs, including interacting with the local community, be driven to provide the highest quality service to individuals, supporting them to remain independent.

Bill Faichney who is the Housing Coordinator at Hanover Court was delighted at receiving the nomination, explaining:

“Each day presents unique challenges, making my role diverse, varied and interesting. I enjoy supporting our customers, empowering them to feel confident and positive about themselves.

Having dedicated over 5 years to this position, I find fulfilment in the challenges it brings. The dynamic nature of my work, the people I interact with, and the opportunity to make a difference in their lives have solidified my passion for this role. I wouldn’t want to do anything else”.

West Wales Care and Repair (WWCR), a subsidiary company of ateb Group was launched in 2001 as part of ateb Groups commitment to create better living solutions for the people and communities of West Wales.

Jayne O’Hara who manages the WWCR service proudly commented “I am delighted for the team who work so hard to improve the lives of our customers and do everything they can to keep them safe and independent in their homes”. 

West Wales Care and Repair is a not-for-profit organisation funded by Welsh Government to provide advice and support to older people across Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion. We work closely with health and social care agencies to provide practical solutions to support older people to remain safe and independent in their homes. We have a team of caseworkers who carry out home assessments and a team of handypersons who install adaptations, all committed to providing a great service. We get lots of fantastic feedback from our customers about our wonderful team and the difference we make.

With both nominations coming in the same category we can genuinely say, hand on heart, we don’t mind who wins!

This year’s ceremony will take place on Thursday 26^th October at the Pavilion in Haverfordwest, best of luck to both, and all of the fantastic organisations and individuals up for an award.

Well done everyone!
