Lottie's take...
With memory boxes outside each room and a sensory space with colourful lighting and soothing music, The Orchard takes a thoughtful approach to supporting individuals living with Dementia. With quiet areas, weekly church service a variety of activities and a large outdoor space to enjoy some fresh air, there is something for everyone at this home.; including a resident dog called Daisy who is loved dearly by all!
