Time for tea at Tamar View garden centre
Residents from Butterfly Lodge in St Budeaux, Plymouth, were delighted to take a trip out in the nursing home’s mini-bus for a fun visit to Tamar View Nurseries in Carkeel.
Sarah McCaffrey, deputy manager at the home, said: “Our residents Joan, Margaret, Marian and Avis all said how much they enjoyed the outing.
“They loved looking at the plants and flowers and enjoyed a little browse around the homeware and gifts section.
“Maybe most of all they liked spending time in the lovely restaurant and having a chat over a cuppa and a delicious slice of cake.
“We all welcome a change of scene from time to time, and it’s great that we have our own mini-bus to enable us to go for trips like this.”
Butterfly Lodge is run by award-winning dementia care provider Camelot Care. The group also runs Deer Park Nursing Home in Holsworthy, Devon and has three further homes in Somerset.
