It´s amasing how many of the elderley there are not alergic. Sometime I wonder why we, with all our skills and knowledge can´t produce more healthy food and environments. I also wonder if they have the same problems in Australia, with people getting more and more allergic?
Yes, it's proven that it's very good for the health of the elderly to be in contact with pets, real or artificial, because of the hormone oxytocin which is calming to the system.
Hi Kerstin, your comments about allergies are very relevant to us in Australia too. Children in schools are experiencing more and more serious allergies. Teachers and children's services such as child care learn how to respond to anaphylaxis with the EpiPen. This shows how much it has increased. It is interesting that is effects places like Sweden and Australia that should have clean air and good food.
We also teach students about programs that include pets in prison, where inmates are responsible for looking after a pet as part of their own rehabilitation. Learning to care for the pets and the love of the pet is very important for people.
Cats and dogs are a good part of care work both in eldercare and disability business. Animals have the ability to get people to link to ann and create touch including providing tranquility.
That´s true! And in many respects animals don´t make a difference between people. A cat enjoys to sit in the lap of someone suffering from Alzheimers just as much as anyone else.

I hope that it will become more frequent use of pets in elderly care in the future. Research shows that it is the right path.

ReplyDeleteTo pet the animals are a natural and free way that is complementary to medication that is both cost and is not so good for the body and soul.
