An innovative treatment method, pet therapy is particularly popular across our entire HCC family and affiliates. Studies have shown that pet therapy significantly improves unwanted behavioral responses to negative emotions, reduces feelings of loneliness, and stimulates movement and physical activity. Furthermore, spending time with animals is also a highly-effective way to alleviate anxiety and confusion. In addition to regular visits made by service dogs and their owners, Memory Care residents also enjoy petting and caring for our in-house birds and feline friends.
