🐹Animal Therapy🐹

This morning we were so HAPPY to have the lovely Diana from Cuddly Cavies bring 6 of her Guinea Pigs in for cuddles, they made themselves right at home and gave us all some wonderfully special moments, not only did they visit our main lounge but also popped in to see all the residents who had decided to stay in their rooms this morning too 😊

It may be cold and miserable outside today but this visit filled us with warmth and happiness!

Thankyou Diana for bringing them in ❤️

This evening we didn’t have anyone attend our sip and paint so we took the opportunity to start our sundown club and over lovely conversation between residents and families, created some masterpieces that we hope, once dry, we will be able to stick in the windows. ❤️

Well done ladies, great company and great creativity!

This morning our residents got creative in preparation for tomorrows Remembrance Sunday and created poppy wreaths, we used felt tips and watercolour paints before cutting them out and making our wreaths which are now proudly on display in our reception area.

The activity sparked conversations of how important the day is and memories of different types of poppies they’ve worn over the years, we are especially fond of the pin badges that have each year printed on.

What an amazing morning a couple of our residents have had at SaxonAir this morning, as they were invited to attend a tour of the hangar and discussion on all things aviation by the company’s CEO Alex, followed by refreshments and activities in their private lounge area. We were able to get up close to many different types of planes and helicopters with new friends that we made from Taverham Junior School and other homes including 2 of our sister Kingsley Healthcare homes.

There was a 1950’s French military aircraft used for reconnaissance, a fully electric glider plane which we learnt had 2 batteries weighing around 80kg each and gave roughly 1 hours flight time and what we found particularly interesting was the fact that the wings could be unclipped to allow for easier transportation should it be needed 😲,

It was extremely interesting and we learnt a lot, our residents shared interesting memories of times when a planes front rotor would be span by hand to get them started and another resident shared that their husband was an airman.

We feel so grateful to have been given such a wonderful opportunity by the lovely Kelly from the charity Friend in Deed who organised it for us - Thankyou!

And an extra shout out to Freedom Transport Services for getting us there and back comfortably and on time.
