Well this has been quite the winter for nasty viruses, and Ford Place tried to escape but didn’t quite make it when a small number of residents got flu just before Christmas. Staff worked hard to ensure that residents were protected and the spread was minimised, but it did mean that lots of our Christmas fun had to be delayed until January. This did not stop the fun and Santa even broke off from his January holiday to pop back to see 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.
