St Georges courtyard and cafe were decorated for the occasion, singer Claire provided the entertainment and the kitchen team put on a fabulous picnic, all home-made from Scotch eggs to Battenberg.

Care Home Open Week

Thank you so much to The Mayor of Weston-super-Mare Councillor Martin Williams and Mayoress Brenda Williams for joining residents for the special picnic for Care Home Open Week. The residents so enjoyed chatting to the Mayor and Mayoress and so appreciated their time. A day of all the best things in life sun, music, good company and good food!

 

It was wonderful to see so many visitors and residents enjoying the occasion. St Georges doors are always open, but for this week the home ran specific events to invite the community into the home including a community tea and cake.

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!
