Our Clients On our visits to nursing homes we encourage socialization and conversation, stimulate intellect and memory, provide entertainment and fulfill tactile needs.   Reminiscing about a long ago pet, conversing with a fellow animal-lover or getting some serious "fuzz therapy" helps to brighten a day. In a rehabilitation program, therapists utilize the pets in activities designed to attain specific goals, such as:  increase range of motion, strengthen hand-eye coordination, build muscle tone and enhance mobility. For hospitalized children, the animals help alleviate anxiety.  They can offer diversion, entertainment or reassurance.  And they certainly can bring a smile or giggle to an unhappy face.
