Document from the year 2018 in the subject Nursing Science - Geriatric Care, , language: English, abstract: Animals have always been people's companions and helpers. They bring life and joy and can also convey quality of life in old age, promote social contacts and protect against isolation. Animals are often a door opener, especially for people suffering from dementia. These positive effects of animals can also be used in medical, social therapy and nursing areas. In her publication, Margrit Selle explains which requirements must be observed when setting up an animal-assisted visiting service for the elderly. To this end, Selle examines the relationship between humans and animals as well as the experiences of older people in today's society. It shows what qualities a therapy dog should have and what training can look like. Using practical examples, she makes it clear how a visiting service can be successfully set up.
