As many of us know and have experienced first-hand, pets are essential members of our families and provide many mental and physical health benefits. Research from the Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI) reveals that 74% of pet owners experience enhanced mental well-being through their interactions with animals. Even 1-in-5 pet owners have stated that their doctor or therapist has recommended that they get a pet. This companionship is especially valuable for seniors, as pets help alleviate feelings of isolation and depression, offering emotional support and improving overall mental health.

At all of The Gallery senior living communities, we happily welcome residents’ pets of all different shapes and sizes. Where most senior living communities have a size or breed limitation, our senior living communities do not! We aim to create a community filled with love, support, and happiness – and that includes dogs, cats, birds, and other pets. If you are able to care for your furry friend, then there is a place for them to call home at The Gallery senior living communities.

Our pets don’t just provide mental health benefits, but they also come with physical health benefits as well. A study published by the American Heart Association found that dog owners are 54% more likely to get the recommended level of physical activity, which helps seniors maintain mobility and cardiovascular health through activities like daily walks. Even playing with your cats inside increases mobility, helping seniors stay active through the years.

In addition to mobility and cardiovascular health benefits, The U.S. Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) performed a recent study and concluded that pet ownership can lead to lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. There are cognitive function benefits to pet ownership as well, making pets great for those with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia in our Memory Care communities.

At The Gallery senior living communities, there are carefully crafted areas indoors and outdoors that residents’ pets can socialize and get all the attention they want. The strategic placement of these locations are designed so residents with pet allergies are not negatively impacted by the pets at each community.

Pets are welcome at each of The Gallery’s senior living communities. From Florida all the way to Washington, we’ve made sure there is a community for you and your pets to call home.
