Life at Magnolia Court Care Home

Therapy dog Teddy brings joy to residents

Pet therapy dog Teddy brought smiles to residents on one of his regular visits with his owner Lisa. Everyone loved to stroke the friendly and incredibly charming Coton de Tulear and hold him on their laps. Our regular animal visits are an important part of life at Magnolia Court, especially for those residents who may be missing their pets.

Art and craft fun at Magnolia Court

Residents had fun creating butterflies to represent the new year and new beginnings. We had a singalong and the residents were very proud of their creations. Goya (session leader) also created a butterfly song and played his unique traditional Brazilian instrument.
