Bringing the Christmas Spirit to Cedar Lawn!

Five srar review for cedar lawn

At Cedar Lawn Nursing Home in Romsey, we believe in creating a true home away from home for our residents. A big part of that is involving families in our community life, and this holiday season has been nothing short of magical.

Creating a Festive Atmosphere Together

To help everyone embrace the Christmas spirit, several of our wonderful residents’ family members joined us to decorate the home and put up the beautiful Christmas trees. Their kindness and enthusiasm filled the home with warmth and joy, making it a truly memorable experience for everyone.

Laughter, Joy, and Cherished Memories

The decorations were not just about creating a festive look but also about creating moments of togetherness. The sound of laughter, shared stories, and the joy of families working together made the day extra special. The trees now stand proudly, lighting up our home and bringing smiles to residents and staff alike.

Grateful for the Cedar Lawn Family

We are so grateful for the love and support of our extended Cedar Lawn family. It is the care, involvement, and connection from families that make our community so strong and vibrant, particularly during the holidays.

 

Here’s to a season filled with warmth, togetherness, and the sparkle of Christmas cheer!

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.
