Residents from Orchard Blythe Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, enjoyed a day trip to the Birmingham Sea Life Centre on Tuesday 25th March.
The outing, made possible by the home’s minibus, offered residents the chance to explore an underwater world of marine life, including a special viewing of the penguin feeding, a relaxing lunch at the centre, and a close-up experience of a wide variety of sea creatures.
The residents themselves had plenty to say about the day, with Chrissy sharing that she “loved to see the penguins being fed.”
Sylvia added, “The shark walk-through tank was very interesting and relaxing.”
The trip was planned after Orchard Blythe initially arranged a visit to Cadbury World. When the residents had the chance to choose an additional attraction, the Sea Life Centre quickly became their top choice, and they eagerly selected it as their next destination.
Everyone remained engaged throughout the day, with many wishing they could stay longer to admire the displays.
The team at Orchard Blythe recognises the importance of trips like this, which offer residents a chance to experience something new, stimulating, and relaxing – all while enjoying the companionship of others in a meaningful group setting.
