Residents from local care home pay visit to the zoo
Residents from Braeburn Lodge Care Home in Deeping St. James, Peterborough was filled with joy during their visit to Hammerton Zoo. Residents were able to see animals from all around the world in person and had a chance to enjoy feeding the goats.
Residents were able to spend the day at the zoo and enjoyed a packed lunch and snacks provided by the home's hospitality team, and singing songs on the way home on the home’s minibus.
Jane Lee, General Manager of Braeburn Lodge said: “Our residents have enjoyed their day out at the zoo. Trips out in the home's minibus are a regular event for the residents, and we always ask for ideas on where they would best like to go. The day was a lot of fun, residents were able to pet certain animals on the day which was quite therapeutic, and we had great weather for the outing.”
Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
