Wellbeing Sessions

At Alternative Acres, we offer dedicated wellbeing sessions for elderly homes, care homes, and residential units, and families providing exclusive, private access to our peaceful farm. We understand the powerful impact that nature and animal interaction can have on emotional wellbeing. Offering calm, comfort, and connection in a way that words often cannot. These sessions are thoughtfully designed to be inclusive, ensuring that individuals of all abilities and needs feel safe, welcomed, and engaged. With no public visitors during these times, guests can enjoy a quiet, relaxed environment where they can connect with the animals, explore the natural surroundings, and experience the therapeutic benefits of the farm at their own pace. 

Our farm-based wellbeing sessions offer meaningful, sensory-rich engagement through gentle animal interaction and immersion in nature, proven to reduce stress, lift mood, and spark joy, especially for individuals living with dementia, anxiety, depression, neurodiverse or social isolation. With exclusive access to the farm during visits, residents and families can relax in a calm, safe environment tailored entirely to their needs. Our team is experienced in supporting individuals with a wide range of physical, emotional, and cognitive needs, ensuring every visit is inclusive, respectful, and enriching. Alternative Acres is not just a place to visit, it’s a space to reconnect, find peace, and feel truly valued.
