Christmas Fair Starts Festivities St georges

The festive season kicked off in style at St George’s Nursing Home with a joyous Christmas Fair. The event was a resounding success, bringing together residents, families, and members of the local community for an afternoon of fun and fundraising.

A Day of Festive Cheer

The fair offered a delightful array of activities, from a captivating Christmas trail around the courtyard to a popular tombola and raffle. The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the showstopping cakes, expertly crafted by our talented kitchen team.

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.
