The patient experience begins at the hospital door or ER, and extends through to discharge. Transform that experience into something positive, starting with the very first touch with Murphy Cares - the first digital pet therapy app designed to relieve stress and anxiety while providing that little boost of positivity everyone needs in difficult situations. Every hospital should be looking at this! #patientexperience #patientcare #healthinnovation
Spending time in the hospital can be incredibly stressful, particularly for children. Depending on their age, young patients may grapple with stress stemming from various factors such as disruptions to their routine, encountering unfamiliar faces and surroundings, and feeling a loss of control. Murphy Cares' innovative #DigitalPetTherapy app offers a remarkable solution. In just 5-7 minutes, patient interactions with our dogs result in reduced anxiety and stress. Although patients of all ages can benefit from digital pet therapy, #MurphyCares offers a near-immediate source of comfort that children and parents love.

Pet therapy, also known as animal-assisted therapy, holds profound significance for seniors, offering a gateway to enhanced well-being and emotional connection. As individuals age, feelings of loneliness and isolation can become increasingly prevalent, leading to physical and mental health challenges. In this context, the presence of animals, often gentle dogs or cats, acts as a catalyst for joy and companionship. The non-judgmental and unconditional love that pets provide cultivates a sense of purpose and belonging among seniors, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. Engaging with these furry companions sparks conversation and social interaction, breaking down barriers and fostering a supportive community. By harnessing the power of pet therapy, seniors not only find solace in the companionship of their four-legged friends, but also rediscover a renewed zest for life and a deeper connection to the world around them. #pettherapy #pets #skillednursing #doglovers #goldenretriever Autumn Lake Healthcare

Let's think about Mrs. Johnson, an 85-year-old lady who's part of our senior care facility family. She was lonely after losing her spouse, but everything changed when she met Bella, a 5-year-old Golden Retriever, through our pet therapy program. We saw her mood lift, she became more active, and her health took a turn for the better. This isn't a one-off story – there's plenty of research to back up the positive impact of pet therapy on seniors, not just emotionally, but physically too. We've seen it work wonders in our facility. But how do we get this message out to potential residents and their loved ones? And how do we make sure we're providing this therapy in the best possible way? Let's discuss this. https://lnkd.in/gqnbr6db #PetTherapy
