Up and about at Cherry Blossom Care Home

Allegra care home exercise

Across all of the Allegra Care homes, our teams work hard to organise and facilitate daily exercise and activities for residents. Getting everyone up and about, moving around, and having fun makes each day enjoyable.

 

We love to see the smiles on our residents’ faces, and it’s no different at Cherry Blossom Care Home!

 

Our residents get the chance to kick off the day with some morning stretches and exercise, which is accessible for all abilities! It’s a great way to start the morning, and gives our residents a big boost of energy for the day.

We also love to play music within the home to get everyone moving and singing along! Whether it’s classical music, or popular songs that our residents can bop along to, playing music always gets a great response.

 

This time, we played some Elvis, which created a beautiful moment for one of our residents and husband to reminisce to. Moments like this never fail to warm our he

arts, as we see the importance that music and dancing can have to the wonderful individuals living in Cherry Blossom Care Home.

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’s first role in the care sector was working with a disability charity that ran nursing homes and enablement projects for young adults.

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!
