There’s no typical day at Leominster, but we arrange plenty to do, both here at the home as well as out and about. We want our residents to help make their mark on the gardens and encourage them to make a little space their own. With a wide selection of local nature areas, we often take residents out to visit them. We often get visits from both toddlers and school children that help brighten the mood in the home whenever they come to visit. |
