Mears carers Amanda Atkins and Krystyna Townshend have been presented with the Coventry Good Citizen Award for going 'above and beyond' their duty and providing exceptionally high standards of end-of-life care.They were nominated for the award by the daughter of a service user. She said Amanda and Krystyna went “above and beyond a care worker’s role by providing a highly personal approach to his care which responded to his changing needs on a daily basis to make him comfortable.”Amanda said: “I am absolutely amazed and very proud of myself and Kystyna for having won this award. I love my job and wouldn’t trade it for the world.”Krystyna said: “This job is about treating people with care and compassion, the way I would want to be treated by someone else. We try to make the service users feel as comfortable as possible. It is hard work, but it feels great to make a difference to their lives and leave them with a smile.”They received a standing ovation while being presented the awards by Coventry’s Mayor, Councillor Michael Hammon, at the Council House.He said: “Kris and Amanda have helped bring dignity, care and respect to an end-of-life patient and their support was a great comfort to his family.I would like to thank them again for their high standard of support to the patient and his family; it was an honour to meet them. Their unselfish approach to such a delicate situation is what makes the pair worthy winners of the Good Citizen Award. They have many years of caring experience between them and I hope they will continue for many more to support the people of Coventry.”Mears Care Manager, Amanda Coombes, said, “Amanda and Krystyna are fantastic; they are a credit to the company and I am so proud that they are part of my team. I think it’s brilliant that they have been recognised, not only for them but for all the care workers out there that provide a fantastic service to vulnerable people.”
