The Paw-fect Power of Pets
The Paw-fect Power of Pets
Pets are more than just companions, research shows owning a pet, especially in your golden years, can significantly improve both mental and physical health.
For retirees, pets can alleviate feelings of isolation and loneliness by providing a sense of purpose. Caring for an animal can provide direction and companionship that is vital to our mental health.
These furry friends also create opportunities for meaningful interaction with others. Whether you're chatting with other dog owners on your morning walk or bonding over shared experiences, pets have a positive impact on social connection.
Finally, pets are also known to significantly enhance physical health. Dogs encourage regular exercise through walks and getting outdoors, while even indoor pets, like cats, require care that involves movement which helps maintain mobility.
So not only are our pets paw-sitively purr-fect, they also play a significant role in enhancing our mental, physical and social wellbeing as we navigate retirement.
Many of our Levande retirement villages are pet-friendly and welcome pets as part of our community, recognising their positive influence on residents' lives. Restrictions may apply, please contact our Sales Professionals to find out more on the Pet Policy at your preferred community.
