Heartwarming reaction as care home residents enjoy visit from therapy dogs
This is the heartwarming reaction of care home residents as they enjoyed a visit from two friendly dogs.
Residents at Redwalls Nursing Home dog in Sandiway, Cheshire, have regular visits from dogs Loki, a ten-month-old Leonberger, and Floyd, a seven-year-old Japanese Spitz.
Floyd is a frequent visitor of Redwalls, as well as the other care homes run by Kingsley Healthcare Group.
Loki became a therapy dog for Redwalls after his visit to his 'grandma' Jo had both residents and TikTok viewers begging to see more.
Jodie Solaiman, 25, is the Wellbeing Coordinator, meaning she organises all of the events and fun experiences at Redwalls.
She described the incredible impact the dogs have had on the health and happiness of the residents.
She said: “Dog therapy has been life-changing in our nursing home.
“It’s so beneficial for the residents - I don’t think the dogs mind the attention either!
“It increases their mood, provides comfort, can reduce loneliness, lowers anxiety and much more.
"We hope that it could encourage other homes to incorporate dog therapy into their care."
