Letter From The King for Blossom Fields' Resident

 

Easter Wishes to King Charles

When Blossom Fields’ residents were making Easter cards back in March, one resident knew exactly who she wanted to send her card to – King Charles. Like so many across the country, she was concerned about his health and wanted to send good wishes for his recovery.

A Royal Reply

Raph and Ali composed a letter to send with the lovely hand-made card and the home was delighted to receive a response today, the home’s resident felt very emotional when the reply was read to her. This letter and the kind words mean so much and shows how kindness brings kindness in return.

Varied Lifestyle and Activities Programme

Blossom Fields offers residents a varied programme of events and activities with a focus on person-centred care to find out more about life in the home please contact the team to arrange a tour.

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.
