We were sent a lovely testimonial from Oaklands Care Home
click on blue writing to access Oaklands House Care Home
“Our Oaklands’ residents and staff very much enjoyed and appreciated a visit from Alpaca cousins Caramac and Sandy recently. They visited residents in both lounges and bedrooms, even going up in the lift! Some of the residents had not seen Alpacas before and enjoyed talking to and stroking them. Spending time with animals can have very positive impacts on the well-being of our residents, so thank you Alpaca Adventures for the new, intriguing, and uplifting experience shared with our residents.”
