Senior Care Strategies
 

Pet Therapy

Since its inception, Senior Care Strategies has seen the critical role pets play in our clients’ lives. Indeed, medical professionals have confirmed the health benefits that pets have. Pets help calm agitated seniors and bring smiles to those suffering from depression. Even a brief visit allows clients to refocus on something other than the challenges of aging and illness.

Since Peanut was just a puppy, she has visited many clients of Senior Care Strategies. The positive impact of Peanut’s visits cannot be quantified but is readily obvious. Peanut loves the petting, treats and attention she gets while putting smiles on faces where before there was none. As a result of these visits, clients often share stories about their own pets from the past. Even clients who have limited communications skills light up when they see Peanut’s happy face. Peanut brings her loving and joyful spirit, playfulness, and comfort to those who need it most.
