Residents and staff at Waterhouse Manor in Fordham, Cambridgeshire, have experienced an uplifting and delightful event. The care home recently hosted an exceptional visit that touched the hearts of everyone present. Lily, a compassionate care assistant at the home, surprised the residents by bringing in her five adorable eight-week-old cockerpoo puppies.
The moment the puppies arrived, the room was filled with smiles and laughter. Residents, many of whom have fond memories of their own pets, were thrilled to cuddle and play with the playful puppies. The puppies' gentle nature and wagging tails brought a palpable sense of joy and relaxation to the environment.

The presence of these puppies not only sparked joy among the residents but also evoked warm memories and created a tranquil atmosphere. Each resident had the opportunity to engage with the puppies, rekindling cherished moments from their past and fostering new, happy memories.
