🐾 A Special Visit from Maggie the Therapy Dog! 🐾

We were delighted to welcome Maggie, our beloved therapy dog, back to the care home! Maggie is a regular visitor and is truly treated as part of our family.

Her gentle nature, calming presence, and wagging tail bring comfort, joy, and plenty of smiles to our service users. Everyone looks forward to her visits — she brightens the day and creates a warm, homely atmosphere.

We can’t wait for her next visit! 🐶❤️

Although Easter was a few months ago, we wanted to share some lovely photos that capture the fun and joy we experienced here at the care home. It was a truly special time filled with laughter, smiles, and meaningful connection.

Activities like these play an important role in stimulating our residents — not just physically, but also mentally, emotionally, and socially. Whether it's crafting, decorating, or simply spending time together, these moments bring a sense of purpose, community, and happiness to everyone involved.

We hope you enjoy these snapshots of our Easter celebrations!
