Some lovely Animal Fur-apy with our residents this week! 🐈

Little Sam spent his morning meeting most of our residents, as well as sniffing and exploring as much of the home as he could - safe to say he was exhausted by the end of it 😴

Spending time with animals really enhances our wellbeing and outlook!

🎶 Music is magic 🎶

It touches us all in one way or another - and it brings us together from all walks of life to do the same thing: feel

We feel the emotions the music brings to us, we feel the beat, and we feel the atmosphere in the room as everyone experiences the same thing a million different ways.

Thank you Jan Mellon for another lovely afternoon!

“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.”
