Celebrating an anniversary at Dunwood Manor

Wedding Anniversary at dunwood manor

We love a romantic story at Dunwood Manor and we felt incredibly privileged to be able to help Geoff and his lovely wife celebrate theirs.

A wedding anniversary to celebrate

We had a wonderful occasion in August when Geoff and his beautiful wife celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary!

 

Flowers, cards and smiles were spotted throughout the day as their family and our care team celebrated with them!

 

With 67 years of marriage under their belt, we look forward to the happy couple celebrating many more!

A nursing home with a difference

Our person-centred approach to care means we take each individual’s needs, requirements and wishes into consideration when creating their tailored care plan at Dunwood Manor. Built with the resident, their family and our specialist care team, each plan holds the individual at its core rather than taking a one size fits all approach.

Why do we do this?

Well our mission is to provide home-from-home comforts in a supported, compassionate environment where every resident is treated with the upmost respect and dignity.

 

Moments like Geoff’s wedding anniversary reminds us how important it is to take this individualistic approach. Taking care of our residents in the way that we do means family members and friends of our residents can rest easy knowing their loved one’s physical, emotional and mental needs are taken care of.

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!
