Spooky Fun at Dunwood Manor Nursing Home

Halloween spooky fun at dunwood

Halloween is just around the corner, and the spirit of the season is brewing at our Dunwood Manor Nursing Home in Romsey, Hampshire! Our residents are getting into the festive swing of things, unleashing their inner artists to create hauntingly beautiful Halloween decorations.

A spooktacular welcome for new residents

Not only are the decorations delightful, but Dunwood Manor also welcomes two new residents – Mr. and Mrs. Pumpkin! These cheerful gourds have already become a source of amusement and inspiration, perfectly complementing the spooky ambiance.

Embracing the season

Keeping a watchful eye over the festivities (and perhaps adding a touch of friendly eeriness) is our resident skull decoration. This whimsical touch reminds everyone that Halloween is a time for embracing the spirit of the season, both spooky and lighthearted.

A spooktacular combination

Halloween at Dunwood Manor is more than just decorations. It’s a time for residents to express their creativity, collaborate on projects, and foster a sense of community. The shared experience of decorating and celebrating brings residents together, sparking conversations and laughter.

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!
