Cuddle Corner Farm Visit

Denmead Grange Care Home, in Denmead Grange, was full of animal mischief farm when the Cuddle Corner Farm came to visit the home.

Residents at Denmead Grange were pleasantly surprised to see animals such as Sheep, chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs roaming around their garden as The Cuddle Corner paid a visit.

General Manager Abbie Johnston said: “Our residents have really enjoyed their unusual visitors today.  We knew that having the farm here would be a bit of fun for all our residents, especially as some find it difficult to go on many outings in our minibus.  We are always looking for new activities for the residents and today we have seen the seen the enjoyment and the therapeutic influence animals can have on people.”

Resident Wendy was very excited and touched by the Cuddle Corner animals: “As a child I used to love all the animals on the nearby farm. Today was very enjoyable and it was wonderful that the animals were free to roam amongst us.”
