Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT), has emerged as a vital component of compassionate hospice care. It offers a comforting and supporting presence for hospice patients through certified therapy animals. This interaction can profoundly impact emotional well-being, mitigating feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression.
The act of petting a therapy animal releases a cascade of 'feel good' hormones, including serotonin, oxytocin, and prolactin, which foster relaxation and enhance overall mood. Patients often find themselves reminiscing about happier moments, leading to deeper conversations and connections with their families. These exchanges not only evoke positive memories but also facilitate emotional processing during an intensely challenging period.
Certified Animal-Assisted Therapy teams are WELCOMED at ECHO Hospice for direct patient care. Or, let's talk if you think you have a pet suitable for certification.
