Fordingbridge Care Home’s Sponsored Walk for Alzheimer’s

Fordingbridge Care Home's Sponsored Walk for Alzheimer's

Last weekend, the compassionate spirit of Fordingbridge Care Home in Hampshire shone brightly as our dedicated Activity Co-Ordinator, Louise, alongside Chef Dom and their family, took part in a sponsored walk for the Alzheimer’s Society.

Walking for a Cause Close to Our Hearts

As a specialist dementia care home, Fordingbridge deeply understands the profound impact of Alzheimer’s on individuals and their families. This personal connection fuels our team’s commitment to raising crucial awareness and vital funds for research into this life-changing condition. Every step taken by Louise and Dom’s family brought us closer to a future free from Alzheimer’s.

Pride in Our Passionate Team

The entire Fordingbridge community is incredibly proud of Louise’s unwavering commitment and passion. Her dedication, alongside Chef Dom’s support, exemplifies the compassionate heart of our team. Their effort in participating in this sponsored walk truly makes a difference, embodying the spirit of care that defines Fordingbridge Care Home. Well done to Louise and her family for their inspiring contribution!

Catherine
Sales Manager

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!
