Pixie From Pets For Therapy Visits Maples Care Home

Every month, we’re thrilled to welcome Pixie and Stacey from Pets for Therapy. Their visits are a highlight for our residents, who eagerly look forward to the joy, comfort, and companionship that Pixie and Stacey bring with them each time. Pixie is full of love and is always ready for cuddles and interaction.

Dog therapy in care homes has an incredible impact as it offers comfort, companionship, nostalgia and emotional support. The calming presence of a therapy dog like our very own Pixie helps ease anxiety, lift spirits, and even lower blood pressure. Residents who may usually be quiet often begin to talk, smile, or share memories during these visits. The gentle and joyous interaction brings back a sense of connection and warmth, while also encouraging social engagement. Beyond the proven health benefits, the unconditional love and warmth dogs provide create precious moments of happiness that greatly enhance residents’ overall well‑being and quality of life.

We look forward to seeing Pixie and Stacey again very soon!
