Cherry Blossom Care Home Testimonials

Mum always seems happy and content, so that makes me feel the same. Staff are always happy to answer any questions I have. And lots of smiles from the moment I walk in to reception. Thank you.

AF – Son of resident – October 2024

Each time I have visited I have found the staff to be very caring and friendly. There are lots of activities and fun things going on. We have enjoyed the "cafe" type rooms with complimentary hot drinks and biscuits. The home is very clean, modern and airy.

J F - Daughter-in-law of Resident - January 2023

I personally have nothing but praise for the staff at Cherry Blossom Care Home, my father was in their care for three years with dementia, whilst his behaviour and moods could be very challenging, the staff always acted with patience, care and understanding.

MW - Son of resident - January 2022

For the time my husband was there he was happy and content, the staff took him to their hearts and couldn't do enough for him. If the food didn't suit they cooked him what he wanted, he was kept clean at all times while leaving him with his dignity. This gave me peace of mind through a very difficult time.

Catherine
Sales Manager

Catherine has worked in sales and marketing her whole career, after graduating with a degree in Textile Management she worked in Corporate Workwear for many years.

Catherine

While her two children were younger, she joined her husband in his estate agency, but was delighted to return to the care sector in 2020 and now cannot imagine doing anything else.

Catherine’s role with Allegra is to support residents and their families as they explore care options. Working with the teams in the individual homes she ensures that during every stage from initial enquiry through to moving in with us every question is answered, and we offer the reassurance needed for the next chapter in our resident’s life. It is important for our residents to remain part of the community in which will have lived for years, often all their lives, so the other part of this role is connecting with local community groups, charities and organisations.

Catherine has said that working for Allegra with their groundbreaking household model means we are offering a home with compassion and care whilst ensuring residents are retaining their independence and quality of life.

Out of work Catherine enjoys baking and gardening The children are older now, but still keep her busy!
