All Day Celebration for VE Day 80 at Rose Garden and Olive Tree House

Celebration for VE day

All Day Party

It was an all day party at Rose Garden and Olive Tree House to celebrate VE Day 80! The decorations looked amazing, the cream tea was delicious and with live singers at both homes some residents even attended both performances!

Family Performance!

There was a wonderful atmosphere with so may classic war time songs including “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square” and “We’ll Meet Again” ending with one resident’s daughters leading the singing on “Land of Hope and Glory” – everyone was singing along.

 

It was lovely to have so many families join their loved ones and many residents from Olive Tree Court also joined the party.

Patchway Mayor Visit

Thank you so much to Dayley Lawrence Councillor and Mayor of Patchway and Town Clark for Patchway Town Council Sue for attending the homes’ event.

Both joined in the fun and whilst also a day of reflection the smiles show how much everyone enjoyed today’s celebration.

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

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!
