The people living at Goldenley Care Home in Essex were extremely happy when new pictures were put up in the home.
Elvisa, the Home Manager of Goldenley, and Faith, the Lifestyle Coordinator, thought that it would be nice to carry on the current animal theme that ran through the home. Especially after they’d had comments from relatives about how lovely the tropical area previously looked. So, they added some watercolour photos of elephants, to spruce up the place and stay on theme.
Liz, one of the residents at the home, was so pleased when she saw the fun new images. She told Faith that elephants are her all time favourite animal, and shared stories about her travels throughout her life. Liz has travelled all over the world, and once saw elephants up close! She smiled as she reminisced about how lovely and gentle they are.
Liz hasn’t been able to stop smiling every time she walks past the pictures, and she is not alone in her happy reception! There have been many comments from relatives about how lovely and bright they look, and resident David talked about how animals always bring a smile to everyone. His favourite animal is definitely a dog, but he thinks that the elephants in the picture look cute.
