The remarkable health benefits of pet therapy in aged care

Pet therapy is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding psychological treatments suggested by our specialists. It’s not hard to see why. Apart from the endless joy of playing with trained therapy animals, pet therapy is well-studied and has a proven record of dramatically improving the physical and mental health of elderly patients — including those with dementia.

Nursing home residents participating in our individual or community therapy animal program can expect a bevy of benefits. These can include: 

  • Muscle development and fine motor skills, improving assisted or independent movement
  • Improved verbal communication function, improving self-confidence and encouraging socialisation
  • Lowered blood pressure and stress, improving overall mental health and wellbeing

Animal-assisted therapy works wonders for our dementia patients

Studies have shown that animal-assisted therapy offers significant benefits for dementia patients. The confusion dementia induces brings with it pervasive feelings of anxiety and depression. The inability to communicate can leave patients feeling isolated and frustrated. All of these can be alleviated with structured pet therapy.

Playing with specially trained animals (under diligent guidance) offers dementia patients a safe yet mentally stimulating activity. It encourages communication, focus and memory recall. Studies have shown a 50% improvement in mental health.
