It is easy to see how important a pet is in the life of a family. What is not as easy to see is how important a role a pet can play in the life of an elderly or ill person. Healing with Love through Pet Therapy will be presented by Sophia Heftler, RN, CMC, CALA of Distinctive Care Geriatric Care Management in Ridgewood, NJ on Wednesday, August 4 from 5:30-7:00 PM at Sunrise Senior Living of Wayne in Wayne, NJ. A special guest appearance will be made by our own pet therapy dog, Romeo, a lovable, lap size 5 year old Pomeranian.
Studies have shown that the emotional bond between man and animals is indeed healing. This talk will tell you how the presence of a pet in a loved one’s life can not only offer comfort and dispel loneliness, but can also lower blood pressure, lower heart rate and calm anxiety. Whether it be in the home or in an assisted living facility or a rehabilitation and nursing home, a pet can make the difference, whether it be for one hour or 24 hours. Come learn the special training that is required of therapeutic pets before they earn that special distinction between pets. To join us, call (973) 628-4900. Wine and cheese…coffee and dessert will also be served.
