A special presentation took place at Montana Care Home, Great Barton, on Tuesday September 3. The Rt Rev Peter Collins, Bishop of East Anglia, awarded the community of Benedictine Sisters of Grace and Compassion the Diocesan Medal of Honour in recognition of their caring service at Montana Care Home.
The Bishop presented the Diocesan Medal of Honour and the accompanying certificate to Sr Thaya Moses OSB, Registered Manager of Montana Care Home, during Holy Mass in Montana Convent Chapel. The certificate certifies that the Benedictine Sisters of Grace and Compassion have been awarded the Diocesan Medal in grateful recognition of their generous service to the Church in the Diocese of East Anglia.
Awards and commendations are nothing new for the care home. In recent years, Montana Care Home has been ranked among the top 20 care homes in the East of England. The two most recent inspections of the care home by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), in September 2023 and May 2018, resulted in the award of an ‘Outstanding’ grade on each occasion. During the Covid-19 pandemic in December 2020, H M Lord Lieutenant for Suffolk awarded a special Certificate of Merit to the Registered Manager, Sr Thaya Moses, for her contribution during the extraordinary and difficult circumstances caused by the Covid-19 crisis.
