Pets and Wellbeing: How our Care Experts can help you stay together at home
At Bluebird Care, we know that a home just isn’t a home without the furry, feathered, or even scaly companions that bring us so much joy. Pets are more than just animals, they are family. Studies have shown they play an important part in our overall health and wellbeing.
From wagging tails to gentle purrs, pets offer comfort, companionship, and a sense of purpose. Research consistently shows that pet ownership can reduce loneliness, lower blood pressure, and increase social interaction – benefits that become even more significant as we age. Those daily cuddles are important!
Above is Mr W with Hazel who has shared his home for the last 6 years and Mr W says “She brings us joy every day and night.” At Bluebird Care we share these feelings about our own pets, and we know what an important part of our family they are.
One of the biggest concerns we hear from people exploring care options is: “What will happen to my pet?” In many traditional care homes, residents may not be allowed to keep their pets with them, a heart-breaking reality for many. With our home care, the story is different.
With our tailored, compassionate support, you can continue living at home with your pet right by your side. Our wonderful care experts not only help you, but also support you to care for your much loved pet. Whether that means helping with feeding, walking, trips to the vet, or just making sure your pet gets the attention and affection they deserve, we are here for both of you.
We understand how important that relationship is, and we are proud to offer care that recognizes the value of your pet in your daily life. Our care experts can:
- Assist with daily pet care tasks, including feeding and walking
- Take you and your pet to vet appointments
- Ensure both you and your pet have a clean, safe, and happy environment
- Help with pet cuddles
Whether it’s a loyal dog, a mischievous cat, or a quiet fish tank bubbling in the corner, your companion matters and they are part of your care plan too.
Choosing home care means choosing continuity, not just for you but also for your pet because they also have their favourite bed to sleep on or their favourite spot in the garden to lie in the sun. At Bluebird Care, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between getting the support you need and staying with your pet so with us, you don’t have to.
If you or your loved one need some extra support and want to make sure that your pet is part of the plan, we would love to talk. Contact us today so you can carry on making new memories with your pet every day because it is good to be home.
