A Perfect Day in the Garden at Dunwood Manor!

The beautiful gardens at our Dunwood Manor Nursing Home in Romsey, Hampshire, are a favourite spot for our residents, and yesterday offered the perfect opportunity to soak up some glorious sunshine and enjoy the fresh air.

A Relaxing Retreat

The tranquil setting of the garden provided a peaceful retreat for many residents. Some enjoyed a leisurely read of the newspaper, basking in the warmth of the sun and the calm atmosphere.

Friendly Competition and Creative Pursuits

For those feeling a bit more active, a fun game of Velcro darts provided some friendly competition and laughter. Meanwhile, resident Sally delighted in trying out her new colouring set, a thoughtful birthday gift from the Dunwood Manor team earlier in the week. Her colourful creations added an artistic touch to the sunny afternoon.

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.
