Telford Exotic Zoo

And we're back.

Sorry for the silence, so let's kick it off with a good one

If you had the pleasure of being in the home last week, you would have got to see some of the most beautiful and bizarre animals. We had the Telford Exotic Zoo in and they were amazing.

The residents loved engaging with the animals (some more than others).

The young man that brought them along was wonderful. He ensured everyone got a chance to see the lovely animals and he was knowledgeable about everything he was asked. Taking his time to ensure the resident could understand what he was saying and giving them time to ask all the wanted to know.
