Residents at Linden House care home have welcomed the latest addition to their family with open arms.

Noodle, a mixed breed three-year-old dog, regularly visits the Epsom home and receives lots of attention – and sausages – from the residents, who are always delighted to see him.

The pooch is a regular at the home and is always doted on during visits, with residents feeding him, as well taking him for walks to the local park.

Linden House, which is part of Wren Retirement Living and managed by Health Care Management Solutions, has a dedicated activities coordinator who ensures that residents’ minds and bodies are kept active with a range of exercises, games and other entertainment.

Pip, activities coordinator at Linden House, said: “The residents are always so pleased to see Noodle, some ask me every day when he is coming back!

“Noodle is very well behaved and seems to adapt his behaviour depending on who he’s with. For some he’ll sit quietly on their lap, but for those who want to take him to the park and throw the ball, he’s a bundle of energy.

“It’s well-known that animal visits are excellent for those with dementia, but I think most people’s moods are lifted when they get to spend time with a dog as happy and well behaved as Noodle!”

A sensitively converted Victorian house, Linden House retains a number of stunning original features, but also features state-of-the-art care equipment and other modifications which have transformed it into a first-class care home.
