Henford House care home, in Warminster, was full of animal mischief on Friday January 18 when a group of alpacas came to visit the home.

Residents at Henford House were pleasantly surprised to see their new furry friends roaming around their garden as the Alpaca’s paid a visit.

General Manager Karen Sawyer said: “Our residents have really enjoyed their unusual visitors.

"We knew that having the farm here would be a bit of fun for all our residents, especially as some find it difficult to go on many outings in our minibus.

"We are always looking for new activities for the residents and today we have seen the enjoyment and the therapeutic influence animals can have on people.”

Resident Valerie Dawkins was very excited by the animals. She said: “As a child I used to love all the animals on the nearby farm. Today was very enjoyable and it was wonderful that the animals were free to roam amongst us.”
