Residents at Signature Care Home in Hendon were paid an unusual visit this week.

Far from the relatives that the residents might have expected to see, they were instead greeted by animals, including rabbits, rats and a bearded dragon.

The morning was part of the home’s activities programme, which prioritises the residents’ holistic wellbeing and encourages them to discover new interests.

Residents at the home – the majority of whom are Jewish – interacted with the animals, which were brought along by Megan’s Petting Paradise.
