Spending time with a quiet, calm therapy animal can reduce loneliness and feelings of isolation, making the setting feel more like home. Facilities with regular visits from therapy animals report reduced behavioral disorders and increased social interaction between residents. Other research shows that staff satisfaction is higher and that there is less staff turnover.
