This January we were delighted to see our Deputy Manager Gordon Jamieson, himself a proud Scotsman to help us celebrate the birthday of the Scottish poet Robbie Burns with a special meal of haggis, neeps and tatties. Gordon addressed the haggis in the traditional Burns’ Night poem kitted out in his full Highland dress and all our residents very much enjoyed the spectacle! Thanks to Gordon, activities staff and the kitchen for helping to lay on our Burns Night feast!
The Comforting Magic of Animals in Dementia Care
At Stow Healthcare, we see every day how meaningful connection, familiar routines and moments of comfort can make a real difference to those living with dementia. One beautiful example of this is the special bond many of our residents share with animals. Across our homes, animals play a much-loved role in daily life.
