Meeting the Alpacas

Today at Hampton Grove we had the pleasure of Gorefield Alpacas visit. 5 beautiful Alpacas, residents helped feed them and got to stroke them, two went in the home and did a few bedroom visits which residents loved. Alpacas help to reduce stress, they provide an emotional anchor for people dealing with anxiety, depresstion or other emotional challenges. The nonverbal communication, gentle touch, and simple presence of these animals can provide comfort and sense of security, and help with the residents well-being.
