General manager Maria Ulian said: "All our residents are fascinated by animals so we were delighted that all of these wonderful animals were able to visit.

"It was brilliant to be able to ask the animal handlers questions about working with the animals and what it is like to look after them. We loved hearing all about their different personalities."

Michelle's Animal Therapy added: "The animals have had a wonderful afternoon! It was lovely to see the residents getting so much pleasure from the visit."
