Free carers information days

At Dunwood Manor Nursing Home, we understand the vital role that unpaid carers play. That’s why we’re hosting free Carers Information Days to provide essential support and resources.

Services and financial assistance

These information days are designed to equip you with valuable knowledge. Learn about the wide range of services available to support you in your caring role. Discover potential financial assistance options that can ease the burden.

A supportive community

Our information days offer more than just information. They provide a welcoming space to connect with other carers, share experiences, and build a supportive network.

Join Us in Romsey or Lyndhurst

We’re hosting two Carers Information Days:

 

Thursday, February 29th, from 10am to 2pm at Romsey Abbey Church Rooms.

Friday, March 8th, from 10am to 2pm at Lyndhurst Community Centre.

 

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn valuable information, access helpful resources, and connect with a supportive community.

Spread the word

We encourage you to share this information with anyone in the community who may benefit from attending. The more carers we can support, the stronger our community becomes.

We look forward to seeing you

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!
