Music, Memories, and a Special Duet at Fairmile Grange Care Home

Fairmile grange feedback

Music has a wonderful way of helping residents reminisce about the things they loved before moving into a care home, and our residents at our Fairmile Grange Care Home are no exception. This week, we were treated to a delightful afternoon filled with the smooth sounds of jazz.

A Lively Performance

The talented Sarah joined us, filling the home with lively tunes and big smiles. Her engaging performance had everyone tapping their feet and humming along to the familiar melodies, creating a warm and uplifting atmosphere throughout Fairmile Grange.

A Star of the Show

The highlight of the afternoon was a truly memorable moment when resident Eric joined Sarah to sing in beautiful harmony. Their voices together created a magical duet that captivated the entire audience. This spontaneous performance was a testament to the power of music to bring people together and spark joy.

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.
