A puppet show delivered laughter and nostalgia at a Swindon care home, brightening the day for everyone who attended.
The event, held at White Lodge Care Home in Braydon, was attended by both residents and members of the wider community.
The show was performed by entertainer Tony Payne, whose puppets charmed the audience from the start.
Residents clapped and chatted with the puppets, with many saying the performance reminded them of happy memories from the past.
Ramona Gherendi, general manager of White Lodge, said: "It is always wonderful to hold shows like this for our residents and the wider community.
"Seeing everyone laughing together, interacting, and sharing beautiful moments is incredibly special."
Residents said the performance was both "interesting and entertaining," while others said it had "really made my day."
White Lodge regularly invites the community to take part in activities designed to promote connection and wellbeing.
The care home is operated by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers.
Barchester supports 11,000 residents across 200 homes.
Its services include dementia care through its Memory Lane Community, designed to help those with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia remain as independent and active as possible.
Barchester also offers neuro-rehabilitation and care for individuals living with Parkinson’s or Huntington’s disease.
All care is delivered by well-trained staff focused on the needs of each resident.
