Christmas Party Fun at The Grove

The festive season was in full swing at The Grove Care Home in Winterbourne, Bristol with a fabulous Christmas party that brought joy to residents, families, and staff. The dining room was transformed into a wonderfully festive space, setting the perfect backdrop for an afternoon of celebration. Residents were treated to a delightful performance by the Crossbow Singers, a local choir who filled the air with beloved Christmas songs, creating a heartwarming and lively party atmosphere. Families were also warmly welcomed, adding to the sense of community and togetherness.

Festive Food and Drink Delights

The Grove’s hospitality team outdid themselves with a sumptuous buffet that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. The talented chefs crafted an array of festive dishes, all cooked to perfection, adding to the merriment of the day. A big thank you to the entire team who contributed to making the Christmas party such a memorable occasion for the residents.

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!
