Paws up for Gemma: A loving farewell to our therapy star
Last Friday we say a very heartfelt thank you and a fond farewell to our brilliant therapy dog Gemma, who is officially hanging up her harness and heading into a very well‑deserved retirement.
Gemma has brought comfort, calm and countless smiles to our residents, clients and staff. Whether she was offering a gentle paw to hold, brightening someone’s morning with a wagging tail or simply being a reassuring presence on the toughest days, she has been an absolute treasure to our community.
And of course, we cannot forget her wonderful hooman, Debs, who has been by her side every step of the way. Their visits together have meant more than words can express, and we are deeply grateful for the time, energy and love they have shared with us.
While Gemma enjoys her well‑earned rest (and hopefully endless treats and cuddles), we’re delighted that Debs will still be part of our extended family - you’ll spot her at our events and continuing the friendships she’s built along the way.
Thank you Gemma. Thank you Debs. You will always be part of our story. 💙🐾
