Alice Applewood brings joy to Residents of Cedar Lawn at Allegra Care

The Residents of Cedar Lawn had their favourite entertainer, Alice Applewood, visit last week. This got the residents full of excitement and enthusiasm and before we knew, everyone was up on their feet singing and dancing along!

A Home Away From Home…

We cherish these special moments here at Allegra Care homes where we can come together as a community, have fun and let our hair down. Creating a comfortable, lively and warm environment that feels like a home away from home is exactly what we aim to do across all our homes.

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!
