The early residents（居民）in care homes in London are given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was put forward by a local charity to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people's health and happiness. It is also being used to help patients suffering from dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Workers in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is Ruth Xavier. She said, “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.”
“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they've gone to bed.”
“It's good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I'm enjoying the creative activities, and it is great to do something useful.”
There are more than 700 elderly people looking after hens in over 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial（财政的）support to carry it out in the whole country.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, said, “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative meetings. We are looking forward to the good points and fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said, “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”

伦敦养老院的早期居民被给予母鸡来照顾，以缓解他们的孤独感。
该项目由当地一家慈善机构提出，旨在减少孤独感，改善老年人的健康和幸福感。它也被用于帮助患有痴呆症（一种严重的精神疾病）的患者。在使用母鸡的养老院中，工作人员报告称药物的使用量有所减少。
露丝·泽维尔（Ruth Xavier）是参与该项目的人之一。她说：“我年轻时曾养过母鸡，每天上学前都得给它们准备早餐。”
“我非常喜欢这个项目。早上我会坐着轮椅到那里把母鸡放出来，晚上又会到那里看看它们有没有上床睡觉。”
“有一个不同的关注点很好。人们会带着他们的孩子来看母鸡，居民们也会来坐在外面看它们。我很享受这些创意活动，能做一些有用的事情很棒。”
在东北部的20多家养老院中，有700多名老年人在照顾母鸡，该慈善机构也获得了财政支持，以便在全国范围内开展该项目。
彭福尔德街60号的额外护理经理温迪·威尔逊（Wendy Wilson）说：“居民们真的很欢迎这个项目的想法和创意会议。我们期待这个项目能给这里的人们带来好处和乐趣。”
诺丁山路径组织的主任林恩·刘易斯（Lynn Lewis）说：“我们很高兴能参与这个项目。它真的会通过共同的兴趣和创意活动帮助我们的居民建立联系。”
