Four decades of loyalty and dedication has seen Capecare worker Brenda Drummond honoured at the organisation's latest presentation night.
Capecare chief executive officer Jo Penman said Ms Drummond had given love and care to residents every day with an "infectiously enthusiastic positive attitude".
"She is a caring, hardworking team member always willing to help others, and loved by staff, residents, volunteers and the entire Capecare community," Ms Penman said.
Other staff members were rewarded on the night, including Sue Ecreg who received the Capecare Way achievement award.
Ms Penman described Ms Ecreg as simply indispensable to Capecare.
"She is a quiet achiever, getting on with the dedicated job of providing beautiful clinical care to Capecare residents," she said.
Described as a "jack of all trades", staff member Liza Hellstrom also went away with an achievement award.
"Liza is a member of the Community services team who is a jack of all trades, willing to help wherever needed, and like Sue, Liza is widely loved and respected by her colleagues and clients and known for her hard work and willingness to do whatever is needed," Ms Penman said.
The organisation's service award went to Christine Hope.
