Care home residents meet pet therapy dog called Alfie
Care home residents were able to watch and interact with their new pet therapy dog Alfie, who joined them last week.
Samantha McCall, activities coordinator at Braeburn Lodge in Deeping St James, said: “The health and wellbeing of our residents is hugely important and pet therapy is just one of the ways in which we are proactively supporting them.
“The visit from Alfie was extremely well received, and it was brilliant to see so many residents enjoying the experience.”
Pet therapy has grown in popularity over recent years due to the wide ranging benefits it brings.
