Autumn Arts and Crafts

Autumn is the perfect season for arts and crafts, and the residents at our Cedar Lawn Nursing Home in Romsey, Hampshire have been embracing their creativity with enthusiasm. From adorable hedgehogs made from autumn leaves to broccoli tree paintings with impressively realistic textures, the artistic talents at Cedar Lawn are in full bloom!

Encouraging Artistic Expression

These craft sessions offer a wonderful opportunity for our residents to express their creativity, while also keeping their hands active and minds engaged. The social interaction during these sessions is just as valuable, providing a chance for connection and camaraderie.

The residents’ creations are a testament to their talent and dedication. The intricate details of the hedgehog leaves and the realistic textures of the broccoli trees are a testament to their artistic skill.

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.
