Rose Garden Celebrate Glad to Care Week

Rose garden celebrate glad to care

Our Rose Garden residents and team members in Patchway, Bristol took part in this year’s Glad to Care week.

Glad to Care Week

The Glad to Care week celebrates the dedication of care workers across the country with a weeklong programme focused on well-being and giving thanks.  This year’s themes have also been about supporting resident well-being.

Thanking Carers

Residents made beautiful pictures with flowers to present to the care team and everyone had great fun taking pictures with the Glad to Care picture frame.

Well-being Wednesday

For well-being Wednesday, the activities team took the opportunity to talk with residents about what they enjoy most and if there is anything new they would like to do. Taking part in meaningful activities has a positive impact on residents’ emotional and physical well-being.

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!
