It has been so special this year to enjoy another trip from local lambs, who residents have enjoyed meeting and having a cuddle with. We are so lucky in the home to have our resident dog Noella, who has found her feet and her way around, and our residents are really enjoying the benefit of the informal ‘pet therapy’ that is happening at Melford Court.
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.
