Pet therapy brings immeasurable joy and comfort to residents of care homes. The presence of friendly animals, such as dogs, cats, and even birds, can significantly improve the emotional and physical well-being of elderly individuals. Studies have shown that interacting with pets can lower blood pressure, reduce stress levels, and alleviate feelings of loneliness and depression. Pet therapy sessions provide opportunities for social interaction, reminiscing, and gentle physical activity, fostering a sense of purpose and connection. The unconditional love and companionship offered by animals can uplift spirits, improve cognitive function, and create a more vibrant and engaging environment within the care home setting.
