Fairways Enjoys Pawsome Time

Fairways Care Home recently enjoyed a delightful surprise that brought smiles and fond memories to everyone involved.

Thanks to the thoughtfulness of carer Donna, her beloved pet pug, Bella, visited the care home, spreading joy and warmth to the residents. For many, the visit evoked cherished memories of owning dogs, bringing a sense of nostalgia and happiness.

The visit was a tremendous success, creating a buzz of excitement throughout the care home. Everyone was thrilled to interact with stroking, cuddles and play bringing back memories of pet ownership.

Pet therapy is well-known for its positive effects, especially in care home settings. Spending time with animals can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, while also encouraging social interaction. This visit proved to be no exception, as everyone was eager to share the company of this sociable pug.

The event was a heartwarming reminder of the simple joys that pets bring into our lives, and the powerful connections they help create, even in a care home setting.
