The orphaned lambs combat dementia

Spring has sprung and residents in an Aberdeenshire care home are getting a new lease of life thanks to a pair of orphaned lambs. The lambs are visiting the Balhousie Huntly care home as part of the home鈥檚 award-nominated initiatives in combating dementia.

Based in the countryside, many of the residents grew up around farm animals, worked on farms, or were the wives of farmers. The visit from the lamb takes them back to their younger days and reconnects them with the land that they spent their life on.

The Nine鈥檚 Nasim Asl spent the day with the lambs and he residents.
