Wow, what a busy summer it has been! This is just a taster of what we have been up to…! We hosted a really special Summer Fair in August – thank you so much to everyone who supported us! We raised over £200 for the residents’ activities fund. We also had some very memorable experiences including miniature ponies paying a visit to residents. Here you can see resident Gwen greeting a pony who paid her a room visit! It was lovely to have stalls to enjoy and to see staff lending a hand to make it all a success. Thank you to Joanna and Jenna our activities team who made it happen! We will welcome back well behaved ponies any time!
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.
