Health benefits for retired seniors in Kamloops
If you’re feeling lonely or need a source of comfort and companionship, getting a pet is your way to go. Animals have proven to help reduce stress levels, lower blood pressure, and even increase social interaction. Depending on the type of pet you get, they can keep you company and help you maintain a sense of purpose and motivation to socialize with other residents and their pets. They also keep your mind occupied in case you are feeling any sort of pain and even help you maintain a regular daily routine at the Kamloops retirement residence.
