Yesterday at Oakhill Mansions Nursing Home we had an exciting visit from Bristol Zoo Gardens. Our residents and staff had the pleasure of meeting Lilly, a very friendly spider, a Giant Tiger snail, a glamorous stick insect and a lovely pair of giant cockroaches. Our residents bravely held and stroked all the animals and learned a lot of interesting facts about them.
The Zoo to You Sessions will continue this and next week around all of our care homes in Bristol.

We’d like to thank Bristol Zoo Gardens for inviting us to such a special event last week – the seventh year of the award-winning Bristol Community Plant Project. We’re very proud to be sponsors of Bristol Zoo Gardens and are supporting the project by growing calendula plants in our care homes across Bristol.
We recently organised an Alzheimer’s Memory Walk at Culverhayes Nursing Home in Bath. Initially due to bad weather conditions we had to postpone the event but with lovely weather on the following Saturday, many of our staff and residents made it out and completed the 6-mile trek. Along the way we managed to raise an amazing £408 for the Alzheimer’s Society from your kind donations.
We would like to take this opportunity to say well done to everyone that took part and thank you to everyone that donated.
