At our Magdalen House Care Home in Ipswich, Suffolk, we believe in enriching the lives of our residents in unexpected and delightful ways. That's why we were thrilled to welcome a very special guest – Queen Camilla, a young Royal Python!

A royal reception for a regal reptile

Queen Camilla, despite her regal title, is a rather petite python. Her visit sparked curiosity and excitement among the residents. Some residents were eager to hold her, marveling at her smooth scales and gentle demeanor. Others preferred to observe from a safe distance, still captivated by this unique creature.

The therapeutic power of animals

Animal interactions offer a surprising array of benefits for seniors. Studies have shown that interacting with animals can reduce stress, anxiety, and loneliness. The gentle touch of a snake, the mesmerizing patterns on its scales – these experiences can be calming and therapeutic.

A memorable experience for all

Queen Camilla's visit to Magdalen House wasn't just about entertainment; it was about creating a unique and memorable experience for our residents. The opportunity to interact with such a fascinating creature sparked conversation, laughter, and a sense of wonder.
