The Day the Farm Came to White Lodge
White Lodge care home in Braydon, Swindon was full of animal mischief on Wednesday 16th April when the farm came to visit the home.
Residents, friends and family and many guests of all ages from the local community were pleasantly surprised to see animals such as alpaca’s, pigmy goats, lambs and gorgeous guinea pigs roaming around the homes garden as Dave and Ewe’s Therapeutic Farm paid a visit.
General Manager Ramona Gherendi, 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.”
“The power of animal therapy was obvious from the smiles on everyone’s faces” said Activities Coordinator, Shayla Sharmeen. “Getting up close to the farms four-legged friends in the garden and individual resident rooms brought so much joy.”
