AAT : Assisted Animal Therapy
Creature comfort care home residents
ANIMAL magic cheered up the elderly residents of a Brixham care home.
Simon Kite of the town's activity services (Sunshine Activities) visited Frencham House with a host of furry friends
Simon, known as the Animal Man, brought along his well behaved but playful dog Bruno for the residents to groom.
He then gave everyone a rug to put on their laps and handeed out various animals such as chinchillas, rabbits, gerbils, guinea pigs and hampsters for them to hold and stroke.
Nick Ross, the manager at the Stonehaven Healthcare Group registered home, said: "Simon also spoke to the residents and gave various information about each animal. It was a fantastic afternoon and put the smile back on peoples faces. The therapeutic benifits were unbelievable.
