We recently welcomed some feathered friends to Halstead Hall. Owls from ‘Birds of Prey Rescue’ a local rescue centre to rehabilitate birds of prey, came to the home along with their handlers to visit residents. Residents were treated to 1-2-1 meetings with a tawny and barn owl and were learning fun facts about the species. Thank you to the staff from Birds of Prey Rescue for taking the time to come out and visit us.
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.
