RESIDENTS from Kingfisher Lodge care home in Saltford, Bristol were filled with joy during their visit to Longleat Safari Park. Residents were able to see animals from all round the world in person, and had a chance to enjoy see those mischievous monkeys up close and personal.

Residents were able to spend the day at the zoo, and enjoyed a packed lunch and snacks provided by the homes hospitality team, and singing songs on the way home on the home’s minibus.

Claudia Costinean, General Manager of Kingfisher Lodge said: “Our residents have really enjoyed their day out at Longleat. Trips out in the homes minibus are a regular event for the residents, and we always ask for ideas on where they would best like to go. The day was a lot of fun, residents were able to pet certain animals on the day which was quite therapeutic, and we had great weather for the outing.”
