After last year’s success, the annual Teddy Bear’s picnic returned to Ford Place for 2018. Residents, families and staff were invited, along with their teddy bears, to an afternoon of food, games and fun. The weather was perfect which allowed us to make great use of our outdoor space on the lawn and down towards the river. It was lovely to see so many residents, families and younger children in the home and enjoying time together.
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.
