A Visit from Evie and Lucy

22 January 2026

Every second Thursday of the month, residents at Avon Cliff enjoy a visit from Evie and Lucy, two friendly dogs who bring energy and companionship to the home.

Accompanied by their owner Jane, the dogs’ wagging tails and gentle nature spark smiles and conversation throughout the day.

Ruth especially enjoyed spending time with the dogs, stroking them and sharing a few quiet moments of company.

Residents look forward to these visits, which provide comfort, joy, and a chance for interaction, making Thursdays feel special. Simple moments like these bring real happiness and connection for everyone in the home.
