Residents of Warminster’s Wren House Care Home had an afternoon of fun with a visit from some fluffy friends.

The events saw alpacas visit residents in the home’s garden and even in the rooms of those who were unable to go outside.

Residents experienced the joy of engaging with the gentle and affectionate alpacas, forming an instant bond with the captivating creatures.

Animal therapy, such as interacting with alpacas, offers a wide range of benefits that contribute to physical, emotional, and mental well-being. This includes reducing stress, enhancing relaxation, uplifting mood, and fostering social interaction.

Tracey Atkins, Wren House Manager said “Our goal is to consistently plan delightful activities for our residents, and the alpaca visit proved to be an extraordinary triumph.

“It was great to see the Alpacas bring laughter and smiles to our residents’ faces, it shows the profound impact of animal therapy and the benefits and joy it brings to our residents."

Resident June Tanswell said, "The alpaca visit was an absolutely marvellous experience! Being able to pet and interact with these magnificent creatures was truly brilliant. The alpacas' calm and friendly nature made it even more special, and I’m looking forward to their next visit”.
