CANCELLED: Pets and Seniors

 Registration is closed for this event
Research confirms that there are positive outcomes for older adults who regularly interact with pets. Many older adults find that pets can provide the companionship and love they desire as they age and can also reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness. While pet ownership may be a benefit to many older adults, it can pose safety concerns for others. Regardless, there are ways that older adults can engage with animals and receive benefits such as lower blood pressure, pain reduction, less loneliness, and more happiness. This seminar will share considerations on pet ownership and ways that older adults and family caregivers can interact with animals, even if they do not have an animal of their own. A panel discussion will offer other suggestions and resources in Sullivan County. Panelists include Joseph D'Abbraccio, DVM from Catskill Veterinary Services, Deborah Worden from Action Toward Independence, and Maureen Velton.
