A care home in Chipping Norton received some unexpected guests this week when rabbits, chickens, guinea pigs, and a bearded dragon visited them.
Southerndown Care Home residents received the surprise visit from Lucia’s Tiny Farm.
Arlene, the general manager, 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.”
Sheila, a resident ambassador, said: “As a child I used to love all the animals on the nearby farm. Today was very enjoyable and it was wonderful that the animals were free to roam amongst us.”
