The unconditional love between a pet and their human is a unique bond, not found elsewhere. Research indicates that the therapeutic benefits of animal-human friendships may be both physical and emotional: Increased comfort Decreased anxiety More smiling and moments of joy Enhanced communication and engagement Reduced feelings of loneliness and isolation Released endorphins for a calming effect For seniors struggling with life events beyond their control, an affectionate nuzzle or lick from a fuzzy companion could be just what the doctor ordered! This month, join us to partake in some PET THERAPY fun! Pet Therapy As we fall into the season of Harvest and Plenty, it is time to acknowledge our gratitude. We are blessed with a bounty of love, friendship and trust. At Spring Hills Morristown, the Staff and I will continue to work to earn those gifts.
