Assisted Therapy

Written By Theodore Pinnock

The medical, rehabilitative, and therapeutic name for accommodating cats is Animal-Assisted Therapy, a type of therapy involving animals as a form of treatment.

Animal-Assisted Therapy is a type of therapy that incorporates animals in treating people, especially elderly people, in nursing homes or long-term care (LTC) facilities.

Using animals as a treatment option aims to improve the person’s social, emotional, and cognitive functioning and reduce passivity.
