RESIDENTS from a specialist dementia care home in Wellington have been reliving happy days from their youth at the recent Devon County Show at the Westpoint Arena and Showground in Clyst St Mary near Exeter.
A group of five, plus support staff from Camelot House and Lodge and two family members, made the most of the good weather and had an entertaining day inspecting the livestock, farm machinery, stalls and eating ice-cream.
Team leader Vlad Toma said: “It was a fab day out for our ladies and gents, with plenty to see and chat about.
“It was especially lovely for those who have memories of working or staying on farms in their youth, and they all loved seeing the animals.
“We appreciated that the showground is wheelchair friendly and access has generally been improved this year.
“We organise a lot of activities for our residents in the home, but it’s good to take them out for a change when there’s something as engaging as the County Show to visit.”
