Heartwarming Pet Visit Delights Residents At Deeside Care Home

There were smiles all around at Deeside Care Home as Lorna brought in her two beloved dogs, Molly and Ivy, for a special visit with the residents and staff. The friendly pair instantly brightened the atmosphere, wagging their tails and soaking up cuddles from everyone they met. For many of the residents, the visit brought back happy memories of pets they once owned, sparking stories, laughter, and gentle moments of connection.

Pet visits like these play a crucial role in supporting emotional well-being within care homes. For older adults, interacting with animals fosters a sense of comfort and companionship that words often can’t achieve. The warmth of a dog’s presence can lift spirits and create meaningful bonds, not just between residents and animals, but among staff and the wider care community as well.

Deeside Care Home is proud to be part of this heartwarming initiative, recognising the power of pets in promoting happiness and health. Lorna’s visit and Molly and Ivy’s undeniable charm, reminded everyone how much a furry friend can brighten a day.
