Pet Assistance League of Yolo County |
At any age, the therapeutic benefits of the human-pet bond are undeniable. A pet can be rejuvenating --emotionally and physically. Studies show that the quality of life for seniors is vastly improved with an animal's unconditional love and companionship. Animal affection can lower blood pressure, clear depression and improve one's outlook on life. For seniors, animals give meaning and context to daily life. As the general population has aged, the needs of seniors have changed. Unfortunately, too many seniors lose the benefits of animal companionship without exploring the options available to them. Perhaps they're uncertain about getting a new animal after theirs dies. Or their new retirement community forces them to give up their pet. Some seniors live in long-term care facilites where there are no animals. PAL is there to help. . |
