Taz the Terrier at Milkwood House

Two years ago Taz was rescued from a dog compound in South Wales and brought down to Milkwood House to brighten up one of our residents who had requested a pet. Boy did he do his job well! The lady has now moved on but Taz remains with us as a friend to all at the home.

Residents at Castleford House, along with visitors and loved ones, have been making the most of the ‘Love Bus’ scheme.
Residents have been encouraged to make a choice about where they would like to go, often sparking a memory about places they once loved. There has been nothing but positive feedback from the residents themselves and their extended families. Staff have been inundated with great thanks from family members who have been captivated by the photographs of parents that look so happy together in places that hold special memories of a time gone by

Vi Johnson and Joyce Egan (a new resident) feed the sheep at Staunton

On 13th August five residents from Milkwood House visited Staunton Country Park. The residents enjoyed feeding the animals, and the animals seemed to enjoy munching on the residents! At one point the goat began eating Joyce Egan’s cardigan which everyone found very amusing and a feisty llama spat at Shaun and Vi Johnson. Following the feeding frenzy the residents ambled through the gardens and admired the array of flowers in bloom. On leaving the country park the residents stopped for a pub lunch and sat outside by the river whilst they enjoyed their food. A great day was had by all.
