Dungate Manor in Reigate has been named as one of the top care homes in the South East for the second year running.

The annual Care Home Awards 2023 recognise 20 of the top rated care homes in each region of the UK, based on reviews from residents and their family and friends on carehome.co.uk.

This follows on from recognition in several prestigious sector awards in 2022.

Abdul Rifai, who manages Dungate Manor, was a finalist for Registered Manager of the Year in the recent Leaders in Care Awards.

He was also shortlisted in the Care Employee of the Year category at the Caring UK Awards, where the care home also was shortlisted for the Care Team of the Year.

Dungate Manor and Abdul were also in the running for the Care Home Team Award and the Care Home Manager Award at the Great British Care Awards South East.

Abdul Rifai, manager at Dungate Manor said: “As a team, we are incredibly proud to have secured a Top 20 Care Home Award for the second year running. We are all driven by enthusiasm for what we do, a desire to do it well and our determination to go the extra mile for the people we support. It is wonderful to hear that our residents feel safe and protected here, but that they also enjoy the freedom they have to do the things they love and to be involved in their care planning. My thanks go to our brilliant team for this wonderful and well-deserved achievement!”

Heidi Davies, Operations Director, Larchwood Care said: “My whole-hearted congratulations go out to Abdul and his team at Dungate Manor for this fantastic achievement. Feedback is crucial in making sure we deliver the best possible care and support to our residents. The fact that this award is based on that feedback and the experience of the people who live at Dungate and their families makes it even more special.”
