Pets are Being Praised by The Elderly - Here's Why

Pets are known to have a myriad of positive effects on our health mentally, physically, and emotionally. For the elderly however, they mean so much more. One retirement home has opted to implement a Pet-Pals program that brings in animals regularly to spend time with their residents.  Not only have the animals made the residents happier overall, but they have made them more social, and memorable by reducing their feelings of loneliness and keeping their minds stimulated. #BeTheChange #Flex5

We know pets rock, but what they can do for seniors is amazing.
