Intergenerational Fun as Sandra’s Shining Stars Visit the Residents

There was plenty of laughter and energy at Fairmile Grange as the children from Sandra’s Shining Stars paid a joyful visit to spend time with our residents, lovingly referred to as the “Grannies and Grandads”. The visit was filled with music, games, and memorable moments shared across generations.

Singing, Games, and Heartfelt Moments

The children kicked off their visit by singing a collection of their favourite action songs, bringing smiles to every face. Residents clapped along, joined in where they could, and enjoyed watching the energy and enthusiasm of their young guests.

 

After the music, everyone took part in some fun and lively games—including catch and balloon tennis, which had the lounge filled with laughter. The afternoon ended with a light-hearted game of hide and seek, with Andrea proving to be especially tricky to find!

Celebrating Intergenerational Connections

At Fairmile Grange, we believe in the power of intergenerational activities to lift spirits, foster connection, and bring joy to everyone involved. Visits like this are a wonderful part of our lifestyle and events programme, offering shared experiences that leave lasting impressions.

Catherine
Sales Manager

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!
