Cherry Blossom Care Home’s activities in May

Cherry Blossom's activities in May

It’s been a busy month at Cherry Blossom Care Home – we’ve had singalongs, quizzes and pamper days!

 

Wherever possible, our care team organises activities and events to give our residents a constant stream of fun and new experiences – and what better way to kick the month off than with a quiz!

 

Our residents got into groups and took part in our latest quiz, where they tested their knowledge with the promise of coffee and biscuits as a prize for all!

We also had an outdoor story-telling session, where one of our much-loved care team members gathered some of our residents and read aloud in the warm weather.

 

It’s not all quizzes and storytelling though, some of our residents were lucky enough to enjoy a pamper day! Starting with the hairdressers, and then moving onto hand massages and nail painting, it was a soothing afternoon for our residents.

We love to give our residents a varied week full of new activities. If you’d like to find out more about the specialist care we provide at Cherry Blossom Care Home, get in touch with our team today.

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!
