Magdalen House Care Home activities throughout May

Magdalen House Care Home activities throughout May

May has been a fun-filled month for both the team and residents at Magdalen House. Whenever the sun comes out, the residents at Magdalen House make the most of the sun terrace that the lounge and dining rooms open onto.

 

It’s the perfect spot for those who want a spot of sun before retreating to the cool shade, and provides a great view when residents are eating their fresh meals or relaxing in the lounge.

 

 

 

But that’s not all! Towards the end of the month, our residents had the opportunity to watch Morris Dancers in Hadleigh.

 

The residents of local Magdalen House Care Home weren’t the only ones to pitch up and watch the dancing; before long a crowd had formed around the dancers which created a great atmosphere!

Where possible, the care team takes our residents on excursions to places outside of the Home to provide some fresh scenery and new experiences.

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!
