Our Cherry Blossom Care Home in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire kicked off Halloween with a spine-tingling surprise! Michelle's Animal Therapy and Petting Party brought a collection of adorable, costumed animals to our home, creating a magical and memorable experience for our residents, families, and staff.
A Menagerie of Mischief
From a mysterious black dog to an enchanting little bearded dragon, each creature brought shivers and smiles, making for a truly unforgettable Halloween celebration.
The Therapeutic Benefits of Animal Therapy
Beyond the festive fun, interactions with animals can have profound therapeutic effects for the elderly, especially those in care settings. Animal therapy is known to:
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Alleviate feelings of loneliness
- Stimulate positive memories
- Improve mood
- Boost physical activity
- Encourage social interaction
A Day to Remember
