\"\"Estonia\u2019s largest elderly care group, S\u00fcdamekodud, thanked its employees, volunteers and partners at a recognition event. Awards were presented in five categories to value those whose work and presence keep older people\u2019s everyday lives safe, meaningful and humane.<\/span><\/p>\n

The recognition for the event\u2019s most important cooperation partner,\u00a0Friend of the Heart 2025<\/b>\u00a0was awarded to\u00a0Social Insurance Board,\u00a0<\/b>because for S\u00fcdamekodud it is crucial to have a partnership that goes beyond guidelines and genuinely contributes to the development, quality and smoother daily work of care services.\u00a0<\/b>The recognition was accepted by the Director General of the Social Insurance Board\u00a0Maret Maripuu<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWork in the care sector is never anonymous \u2013 it is done by people. People who notice, care and want to work with older people. For successful operation, S\u00fcdamekodud also need partners \u2013 both in local communities and beyond. Only by working together can we offer our residents the best possible service. The entire sector is making a major leap forward due to the care reform, but it is also important that society\u2019s attitude towards caring for older people and dignified ageing changes. Recognising dedicated employees and partners is the least we can do to support our people,\u201d said a member of the Management Board of S\u00fcdamekodud AS\u00a0Keiu Talve<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese are the people \u2013 faces and names, and their actions \u2013 who every day create a sense of safety and dignity through their attitudes, skills and care,\u201d added Talve.<\/p>\n

The Heart of the Year 2025 award was given to Valkla S\u00fcdamekodu. Video clip on ETV Terevisioon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWithin our 12-member S\u00fcdamekodud family, Valkla S\u00fcdamekodu is a home where significant results have been achieved over the past year: the home is well maintained, changes have been implemented successfully, service quality has been preserved despite labour shortages, and the house is filled with wonderful people and meaningful leisure activities for residents. According to colleagues, the Valkla S\u00fcdamekodu team is characterised by strong unity, a \u2018let\u2019s get it done\u2019 attitude and the ability to see solutions instead of obstacles,\u201d said a member of the Management Board of S\u00fcdamekodud AS\u00a0Meelis M\u00e4lberg<\/b>. The award was accepted by Manager of Valkla S\u00fcdamekodu Merle Pussak.<\/p>\n

In addition, each S\u00fcdamekodu presented the Hearts of the Home award \u2013 this title was given to colleagues who are dedicated to their work, serve as role models for others or have accomplished something remarkable during the past year.<\/p>\n

The recognition event also highlighted local cooperation partners (Local Friend of the Heart of the Year) and volunteers (Heart Keeper of the Year), who help keep older people\u2019s days meaningful and warm.<\/p>\n
