St Georges Nursing Home June activities

St Georges CHA Award

Our Somerset nursing home, St Georges, is always buzzing with activities and fun, and June was no different!

After temperamental June weather, our garden needed some much-needed tending from the bouts of intense sun and refreshing rain, so our gardener turned up with gloves in hand ready to work his magic! Our orchard was in full bloom with crab apple and pear trees bearing fruits, as well as our gorgeous rose garden heaving with colour!

 

Within the home’s garden, we also have a gazebo area surrounded by beautiful wildflowers where our staff have spotted a variety of wildlife, including bees collecting pollen!

It’s not just flowers and trees though, we’ve also been busy growing strawberries which our chefs had an abundance of in June!

Our chefs are always ready to lend their hand to homemade sweets and treats, so they swiftly got to work making homemade jam to add to our residents’ afternoon treats!

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!
