Restaurants, breweries, and parks are full of them! And that\u2019s no different in senior living communities. Whether it\u2019s residents\u2019 pets or visiting therapy animals, senior living communities love to incorporate our furry friends into the lives of older adults.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It may seem obvious, but we can\u2019t discount the benefits of a pet\u2019s companionship. In a dog friendly city like Austin, just walking your pet around the neighborhood can offer an opportunity to talk to neighbors. If you\u2019re kind enough to let your pet sleep with you, that little furry pal can help alleviate anxiety or insomnia. It\u2019s an easy way to receive unconditional love and feel needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unfortunately though, having a pet may become a safety issue or an older adult may not be able to care for an animal. Memory care communities often utilize robotic, lifelike pets &#8211; from purring cats to napping dogs &#8211; that can help comfort and calm those with dementia. We\u2019ve even seen residents with \u201cpet\u201d armadillos!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These pictures speak for themselv<\/span>es &#8211; the CarePatrol team are big time fans of our fur babies!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Questions?
