Going The Extra Mile…

As we are a Nursing Home, we have a number of residents who are bed bound.

One consequence of this can be that it is difficult to enable them to take part in the full range of activities we offer at the home.

However last week we were determined that should not happen. We had arranged for a miniature pony to visit the home – accompanied obviously by a handler. In the past we have found that this type of activity reaps huge rewards, with our residents enjoying having the ability to interact and stroke the animal. But how to involve our nursing unit on the first floor. We were scratching our heads until the handler calmly pointed out that the pony would be fine in a lift!

So up to the first floor it was, and it was well worth it.
The look of amazement and pleasure on some of our residents faces was fantastic to see.

They thoroughly enjoyed the visit and are looking forward to the next one.

We hope to be able to hold more fun activities and events….providing of course we can find animals willing to go in a lift!
