Pet friendly care services

As people age or fall ill, it may become more difficult for them to look after their pets. Here at Bluebird Care Mid Essex, we provide a variety of services to help you and your loved one remain at home with your beloved pets.

Pets provide companionship and unconditional love to their owners. For people who need live-in care and support, having a pet provides a routine which is essential to help focus their mind. 

Event if you don't own a pet, simply interacting with an animal can help you experience many benefits!

Benefits of the elderly owning pets

Theres many benefits for the elderly when owning pets:

• Reducing stress
• Soothing loneliness
• Providing a purpose and routine 
• Increasing joy and relaxation

But these aren't the only benefits as there are biological impacts too. The HABRI (Human Animal Bond Research Institute) explains that the bond between an owner and pet influences the owner's blood pressure, heart rate and hormones.

Pet and home care can run co-operatively. If you or your loved one has a pet, as part of our domiciliary care service we will try and match you with a care assistant who also enjoys and understands animals as much as you do! 

Get in touch today to find out more about how we can help you and your family, by providing pet-friendly care and support at your home.
