🐾 Dudley the Dog! 🐾
We’ve had another lovely visit from Essex Therapy Dogs, and as always our residents absolutely loved a cuddle with Dudley 🐶💙
Smiles, laughter and plenty of wagging tails filled the room!
💛 Why pet therapy is so important
Pet therapy plays a huge role in supporting wellbeing, especially for older adults. Time spent with therapy dogs like Dudley can help to:
•Reduce feelings of loneliness and anxiety
•Lift mood and encourage positive social interaction
•Lower stress levels and promote calm
•Stimulate conversation, memories and emotional connection
These visits truly brighten the day and create meaningful moments for our residents.
