Pet Therapy

The important role pets play in therapy has long been recognized. Researchers have found that pets have a calming effect on humans and benefit to their well being. Professionals in the field of pet assisted therapy find that pets can lower blood pressure & stress levels & give patients a reason to interact, offer a chance to exercise & a sense of security or intimacy, allow communication & offer continuity in life. Logan Elm Health Care has a large fish aquarium located in D Hall lounge, a beautiful bird aviary in the front lobby and Mystic, the resident cat. We also welcome local pet centers and the zoo for the variety of pets they bring to share on a regular basis.

'Mystic', the facility cat, is very popular and well liked by all that know him, as he has a loving personality that he tends to push on everyone.
