Pet Therapy with Dottie the Basset Hound

Dottie is a registered therapy dog who has been coming to visit us for the last few weeks.

Dottie and her owner Lucie have been visiting residents in the lounge and also in their rooms. Dottie’s job is to make people feel better, healthier and happier. Pet therapy is used to promote health and healing for people of any age range or health condition. It has been proven to lift spirits, decreases feelings of isolation and encourages communication. Dottie will be back to visit us regularly.
