This is getting “egg-citing” here at Courtyard Gardens.
Thank you to AJ and his team from eggUcation™ who came and dropped off chick eggs for our Courtyard Gardens residents to hatch!!
“Our programmes give residents the opportunity to watch chicks, ducklings or quail develop and hatch onsite. The experience creates a natural focal point for daily activities, conversation and connection, while bringing something joyful and memorable into the home. Hatching programmes can be especially meaningful for residents living with dementia. The sights and sounds of the birds may encourage reminiscence, spark memories of childhood or farm life, and support gentle, sensory-based engagement. Residents can follow the development process, discuss what they are observing and enjoy regular visits to the incubator and brooder.” – eggUcation™
Our residents are voting on what we should name the three chicks once they arrive… stay tuned!
