Blossom Fields and The Grove Family Fun Day!

Blossom Fields and The Grove Family Fun Day

The Blossom Fields and The Grove Family Fun Day was a fabulous day so enjoyed by all who attended.

Generations Coming Together

There is always something special about the generations coming together and it was wonderful to see all ages chatting, laughing, dancing and singing together. The entertainment from Disco Steve was a perfect mix of magic and music. Children were invited to take part in the magic tricks and the staff were keen to get involved too!

Summer Food

With the sun shining the hospitality team ensured the drinks flowed, ice creams and a delicious BBQ with home-made salads were greatly enjoyed – thank you and to all the team who make days like this possible.

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!
