Animal Therapy Service Brings Joy to Care Home Residents

care home gets therapy animal visits

Animal-assisted therapy benefits care home residents in terms of their health and well-being. This year, the Pet Pals Therapy service has become a regular visitor of Barford Court in Hove. Residents get to spend time with well-behaved therapy pets which include cats, chickens, rabbits, and other animals.

Activities coordinator Gemma Wheelhouse says that the therapy animal visits mean the world to the residents. Residents who have advanced dementia were able to experience a real transformation during the visits. The animals calm everyone down and put a smile to their faces.

Do you own an assistance animal? Register your pet. 

The Service Animal Registry of California invites you to have your assistance animal registered in order to designate its status. We also encourage you to take our online classes so you can be fully aware of your rights and gain more knowledge about your support animal.

Finally, we present to you our book entitled, “ASSISTANCE ANIMAL LAWS: LEARN YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING SERVICE ANIMALS, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS, THERAPY PETS, AND OTHER DOGS, CATS, AND ASSISTANCE ANIMALS” to provide you with a complete education on assistance animals.
