1.1 Pets and the Elderly: The Impact of Companionship
This video shows the psychological and physical benefits of providing animal companions for elderly persons in a nursing facility. Similarly, interactions with children and a warm and stimulating environment positively influence the psychological and physical state of the nursing home residents shown in the video. As you watch, you will see that patients have a greater sense of purpose in life and that rates of illness and mortality at the facility go down significantly.
