\"\"Estonia\u2019s largest care home group S\u00fcdamekodud recognized its employees at an internal event at the Paide Music and Theatre House. The main award \u2013 Heart of the Year \u2013 was given to Kunda S\u00fcdamekodu, one of the group\u2019s homes that achieved remarkable results during the past year. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

The title Heart\u2019s Friend of the Year was awarded to LHV Bank, which has significantly contributed to improving and streamlining the work of S\u00fcdamekodud and has supported the organization for many years as it has grown into Estonia\u2019s largest care home provider.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cS\u00fcdamekodud is a rapidly growing organization \u2014 today we have 12 homes across Estonia, employing more than 500 people. As the largest care home network in Estonia, we focus extensively on the quality of care services, where the key role belongs to our staff \u2014 our people. Although care quality may seem abstract to some, it is in fact a very practical field: quality is reflected in daily actions, in the competence of employees, in respecting residents\u2019 needs, and in management priorities. It is people who create quality \u2014 through their attitudes, approach, skills, and values,\u201d said a board member of S\u00fcdamekodud AS, Head of Quality and Services Keiu<\/strong> Talve<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Heart of the Year \u2013 Kunda S\u00fcdamekodu. <\/strong>For Kunda S\u00fcdamekodu, 2024 was a year full of activity: many events were organized, including outdoors, and thanks to the team\u2019s excellent work, many residents were brought outside to enjoy concerts and other open-air activities. Those who could not go outside were also included \u2014 they were moved near windows so they could still take part in the event. Together, residents picked berries, planted flowers, baked cakes and decorated the home. The manager\u2019s role has been to value each resident and employee, break old habits, and involve residents as much as possible in all activities.<\/p>\n

Heartlet of the Year <\/strong>is awarded in each S\u00fcdamekodu to one employee who is dedicated to their work, serves as a role model for colleagues, or has accomplished something remarkable during the past year.<\/p>\n
