General Manager, Laura Russell, said: “Our residents and staff love the chance to interact with animals, so to have a day dedicated to them was something very special. We’ve had a great day meeting some new furry friends and the odd scaly one too. It’s been fantastic.”
A resident added: “It has been a fun day. I never thought I’d hold a lizard, they’re really quite friendly and very warm.”
