Larchwood Care

Oake Meadows care home in Taunton welcomed some very special visitors to the home to interact with residents and staff.

A trio of beautifully fluffy alpacas - Jed, Cuddy and Coco - from Stoke Wood Alpacas, were the talk of the home when they arrived to mingle.

Originally from Peru, alpacas are known for their charming temperament and the calming affect they can have on people.

Residents and staff enjoyed petting and feeding the alpacas and learning a bit more about the very popular animals.

Michelle May, activities co-ordinator at Oake Meadows said: “It was wonderful to see the smiles on the faces of everyone. The alpacas were incredibly friendly and seemed to enjoy the visit as much as the residents and staff.

“It is so important to find things that are fun, varied and sometimes unusual for our activities programme and there’s no doubt that animal visits are very popular.

“Thanks to Stoke Wood Alpacas for bringing the three beautiful alpacas and making our day.”
