This week’s games have certainly brought out our competitive side! 🎯

Our lovely residents enjoyed some friendly target practice and bean bag throwing; lots of cheering, a little bit of playful rivalry and plenty of laughter along the way.

Watching the Winter Olympics together has definitely inspired us… we may not be on the slopes, but we’ve got just as much team spirit here!

We had a very special visitor at the home this week! 🐾

Our cook, Anna, brought in her lovely wee dog Bella to spend some time with everyone and what a joy it was!

Bella made her way around the home, happily accepting cuddles and lots of compliments. The smiles on our resident's faces said it all. Visits like these bring so much warmth, spark wonderful memories of beloved pets and create such special moments together.

Thank you, Anna, for sharing Bella with us — she’s welcome back anytime! 💛
