Embracing Pet Therapy to Combat Social Isolation and Improve Senior Well-being

Research highlights the significance of addressing social isolation and loneliness among seniors, as they can adversely impact both mental and physical health.

Pet therapy helps build connections and reduce isolation, offering comforting companionship through interactions with therapy animals. In long-term care facilities, therapy animals bring a refreshing change to the daily routine, nurturing relationships and providing solace to seniors in their environment. Merely being in the presence of these animals has a calming effect, while engaging activities like petting help alleviate stress levels.

At FCC Family Care Centre, we recognize the importance of tackling social isolation and loneliness among seniors, as they can have negative effects on both mental and physical health. We embrace pet therapy as an effective means to build connections and reduce isolation, offering comfort and companionship through interactions with therapy animals.

Our residents at FCC Family Care Centre have the opportunity to engage with therapy animals, bringing a refreshing change to their daily routines and cultivating a sense of community within their environment. We've witnessed the calming effect that therapy animals have on our residents, and we encourage activities like petting to further alleviate stress levels.

By stimulating memories and encouraging communication, pet therapy positively impacts our residents' well-being. Our seniors engage with therapy animals, reminisce about past pets or experiences, and are more inclined to converse with their caregivers or loved ones, fostering a sense of connection and belonging within the FCC Family Care Centre community.
