Caser Residencial Santo Ángel nursing home, located in Murcia capital city, always do their best to provide new enjoyments – as well as mental and physical stimulation – for their residents, which is why they employ canine therapy every single month.

 

Every few weeks, physiotherapist Cristina’s dogs, Hela and Odin, visit the residents at Caser Residencial Santo Ángel, and it has become one of everyone’s favourite regular moments at the centre.

 

 

Pet therapy has been proven to improve mental health, lower stress and alleviate symptoms of depression and sadness as simply being in the presence of an animal causes the body to release serotonin, prolactin and oxytocin.

 

Using therapy dogs is just one of the ways that Caser Residencial aims to improve quality of life for users; for foreign citizens at the centre, whether residents or day centre users, their International Unit provides British food, along with leisure activities and professional medical care services in English.
