There is something truly special that happens when animals visit our dementia residents at The Cottages at University Place. 🐶💛
Smiles appear. Eyes light up. Hands reach out gently. Conversations spark that may not have happened otherwise.
Animal visits provide so much more than just a sweet moment — they offer:
• 🐾 Comfort and calm
• 🐾 Meaningful sensory engagement
• 🐾 Reduced anxiety
• 🐾 Opportunities for connection and reminiscing
• 🐾 Pure, simple joy
For many of our residents, caring for pets was once part of daily life. When a therapy animal walks through our doors, it often awakens beautiful memories and emotions that words alone cannot reach.
At The Cottages at University Place, we believe in creating warm, home-like environments where moments of happiness matter — and sometimes the best therapy comes with four legs and a wagging tail. 💛
