Service Animals for Seniors

An emotional support dog that visits the elderly can have a powerful impact on their emotional well-being and overall quality of life. Even short visits from a friendly, calm dog can bring joy, comfort, and a sense of connection, especially for seniors who may feel isolated or lonely. These visits can help reduce stress, ease anxiety, and lift depression, while also sparking conversations, smiles, and even memories from the past. The presence of a dog creates a warm, calming atmosphere and can give seniors something special to look forward to. It’s a simple act of care that often makes a lasting difference in their day.
