Animal Magic At Hilton Park – Local Care Home Residents Are Visited By Therapy Pets

Staff and residents at Barchester’s Hilton Park care home in Bottisham were treated to a visit from some beautiful therapy pets.  Animals have a wonderful calming effect and the residents love to stroke them, talk to them and play with them.

The home was visited by a wide range of animals including rabbits, cats, dogs, guinea pigs and reptiles much to the excitement of the residents who thoroughly enjoyed the visit, especially petting and feeding the animals who seemed to appreciate meeting their new friends.

Michelle’s Animal Therapy said:
“All of the animals had the best possible afternoon and I don’t think that they have ever had so much attention”

General Manager, Geanina Tinca said:
“All our residents are fascinated by animals so we were delighted that all of these wonderful animals were able to visit.  It was brilliant to be able to ask the animal handlers questions about working with the animals and what it is like to look after them.  We loved hearing all about their different personalities.”
