April Park Care Home in Eckington, Derbyshire, part of the HC-One family, was filled with excitement and joy as residents welcomed some very special guests from Leanimals petting zoo.
The much-anticipated visit brought a variety of fantastic animals right into the heart of the home, including snakes, bunnies, guinea pigs, tortoises, and even our beloved resident canine companion, Archie. The interactive experience gave residents the opportunity to pet, hold, and learn about these wonderful creatures in a safe and comforting environment.
Sharna Wall, Wellbeing Coordinator at HC-One’s April Park Care Home, said:
“It’s so nice to see our residents enjoying themselves, especially during special visits like this one from Leanimals. Events like these bring such joy and stimulation to our residents, you can see their faces light up with excitement and affection as they interact with the animals. It’s a wonderful way to support their emotional wellbeing and create memorable moments. We’re so grateful to Leanimals for bringing such a heart-warming experience to our home.”
Resident at HC-One’s April Park Care Home, Eileen Kent added:

The day was not only enjoyable for the residents, but also incredibly rewarding for the care team, who felt immense pride in their roles as they witnessed the smiles and joy shared throughout the home.
