Freeland House & The Lodge Shine at the Oxfordshire Care Awards 2026
Our hearts are full of pride at Minster Care Group as we celebrate two remarkable team members from Freeland House & The Lodge, our nursing and residential care home in Freeland, Oxfordshire.
The annual Oxfordshire Care Awards bring together the finest professionals from across the county’s social care sector to honour those who go above and beyond every day. This year, the glittering ceremony at The Oxford Belfry gave us two very special reasons to celebrate.
Ninny Matthew, Winner of the Nursing Practice Award
The biggest cheer of the night came as Ninny Matthew was announced the Winner of the Nursing Practice category.
This award recognises true excellence in clinical nursing, celebrating professionals who combine high-level clinical skill with profound human kindness. Anyone who has crossed paths with Ninny knows just how deserved this trophy is.
Her commitment to dignified, person-centred nursing care helps our residents thrive every single day, while her clear and compassionate communication brings genuine reassurance to families navigating difficult decisions. Ninny represents the very best of nursing care in Oxfordshire, and we could not be prouder.
