The team and residents at Sanctuary Care are celebrating after we scooped a double awards victory. 

At the Care Home Awards 2025, Sanctuary Care was named Outstanding Larger Group Care Provider, as well as winning the Best for Training and Development Award.  

Sarah Clarke-Kuehn, Chief Operating Officer, said of the double victory: 

“We are beyond proud - these wins are a true testament to our unwavering dedication to continually enrich the lives of our residents, their loved ones and the amazing staff who have the privilege of caring for them.” 

One of many highlights of the Outstanding Larger Group Care Award nomination was Sanctuary Care’s unique Enriching Lives Framework, which staff use to support their residents to feel a sense of belonging, continuity, purpose, achievement, significance and security.
