Residents and colleagues at HC-One’s Launton Grange Care Home in Bicester, Oxfordshire, were delighted to welcome some very special guests recently, a friendly collection of animals from Lucia’s Tiny Farm.
The visit brought a host of furry and scaly friends to the home, including rabbits, lizards, puppies, a tortoise, and guinea pigs. Residents had the chance to meet, hold, and feed the animals, sparking smiles and conversation throughout the day.
Animal therapy is known to have positive effects on wellbeing, and the visit proved to be a heartwarming experience for everyone involved. Many residents shared fond memories of pets they had in the past, while others simply enjoyed the sensory and social benefits of spending time with the animals.
Lucia’s Tiny Farm specialises in bringing a hands-on animal experience to community groups, schools, and care homes. Their visits are designed to be interactive, educational, and above all, comforting, something that was clearly felt by residents and colleagues alike.
