St Georges welcomes new residents in 2020

St Georges welcomes new residents in 2020 garden

St Georges Nursing Home is delighted to be opening a further new household this week, our ongoing refurbishment programme continues and it means we have further new bedrooms available.   All our rooms are en-suite, larger than average and many with stunning garden views.

 

We are welcoming new residents and you can feel reassured with our stringent Covid-19 testing policy prior to arrival and Covid safe procedures within the home.

 

Respite care is also in demand, as loved ones may be shielding, there has been an increase in the needs of those for whom they are caring for, or they have been unable to have a break during this difficult year.

 

Respite offers many benefits for both the caregiver and their relative, the break from the normal routine alone is beneficial. You can relax as your relative is in the best hands with 24-hour nursing care and our experienced team at St Georges.

During the latest lockdown, St Georges made some amendments to our visiting policy.  We know how important it is for us all to see our loved ones so we are pleased to offer a range of options which include virtual visits and where appropriate window visits.

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!
