Countdown to Christmas at St Georges Nursing Home

Countdown to Christmas at St Georges

The countdown to Christmas is officially on, and every day at our St Georges Nursing Home is action-packed with festive cheer! Our residents have been busy embracing the holiday spirit through wonderful community connections and seasonal traditions.

Intergenerational Magic: The Nativity Play

We are so fortunate to have a wonderful link with St Georges Church School. This year, our residents were delighted to be invited once again to attend the rehearsal of the school’s Christmas Nativity Play. There is something truly special about a Nativity performance; it always brings back a wealth of childhood memories for our residents. Seeing the children perform provided that unique sense of happiness that only intergenerational activities can bring.

The Spirit of Gifting

The festive season is all about giving, and our residents were thrilled to present Christmas gifts to the schoolchildren during their visit. The kindness was quickly returned, as the children dropped off thoughtful gifts for our residents before breaking up for the Christmas holidays. This exchange of gifts and smiles perfectly captures the true meaning of the season.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As we wrap up another joyful year, everyone at St Georges is already looking forward to 2026! we are excited to continue our partnership with the school and create even more beautiful memories and shared experiences in the year to come.

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!
