A Sweet Day Out in the New Forest

A Sweet Day Out in the New Forest

Our residents at New Forest Nursing Home love to explore the beautiful surroundings that our home has to offer. This week, Maggie and Eileen embarked on a serene outing to Carlos Ices and Tea Rooms, where they indulged in some of the most delicious ice cream around.

A Moment of Peace

As they strolled through the tranquil New Forest, they were treated to the enchanting sight of donkeys and horses roaming freely, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. The residents enjoyed a moment of tranquility, surrounded by nature’s beauty.

A Taste of Serenity

The delicious ice cream at Carlos provided the perfect complement to their peaceful outing. The refreshing flavors and creamy texture were a delightful treat, adding to the overall sense of relaxation.

Enhancing Well-being

Outings like these are essential for our residents’ well-being. Spending time in nature, enjoying fresh air, and socializing with friends can have a positive impact on their mental and emotional health.

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.
