Speaking after the presentation Angela said: “I feel privileged to be working at MHA Langholme and enjoy every aspect of my job.

“A friend of mine was working here and recommended it to me, and I am so glad I went for it.

“I enjoy taking care of the residents and have great relationships with them and their families.

Patrick added: “Something must be right for me to still be here after 15 years, and I do think this will be my last job.

“You do have to be prepared as it is hard work, but very enjoyable.

“I love putting a smile on people’s faces, and my advice for anyone thinking of starting in care is to stick with it and you will be rewarded.”
