Reverend kay spirit to fairmile

At Fairmile Grange in Christchurch, Dorset, residents were recently uplifted by a heartfelt visit from Reverend Kay Boulton and her friends. This monthly event is always a cherished occasion, bringing both spiritual comfort and joyful companionship to the home.

A shared moment of reflection and harmony

This month’s special service centred on the theme “The Lord Is My Shepherd”, offering residents a serene space for reflection and connection. The beautiful hymns and familiar prayers created a calming atmosphere, where voices joined in harmony and hearts were uplifted.

Conversations that matter

Following the service, Reverend Kay and her companions took time to chat with residents individually. These friendly, personal conversations mean a great deal to everyone at Fairmile Grange, offering not just spiritual support but a sense of genuine connection.

A continuing tradition of care

Reverend Kay’s regular visits are a testament to her dedication to the wellbeing of our community. Her presence is warmly welcomed each month, and her visits remain a highlight in the home’s calendar of meaningful activities.

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.
