THERAPY DOGS CELEBRATED WITH ‘CRUFTS’ EVENT
Our care home hosted its own version of the famous Crufts dog show to honour the Pets as Therapy dogs who regularly visit our residents. The Crufts-style dog show brought together many of the dogs who visit our residents each week. The dogs competing included those belonging to team members and residents’ family and friends, plus the Pets as Therapy pooches who routinely visit the home to provide our residents with companionship, joy, and nostalgic memories of their own furry friends.

LANGUAGE CAFE CELEBRATES DIFFERENT CULTURES
Our home hosts monthly language cafés to celebrate the different cultures represented within the home community. Recently, residents got taken back to happy memories of holidays in Turkey as part of our popular initiative designed to celebrate the cultures of residents and team members. The latest café was led by care assistant Nikki Roome, who has embraced Turkish culture since marrying her husband, Cagri Bayram, four years ago. Since then, Nikki has developed a passion for Turkish food and language, learning to cook traditional dishes and becoming confident speaking Turkish.
