Alzheimer's and Pet Owners

View descriptionShare

Supporting the Walk to End Alzheimer's, this episode is about animal-assisted intervention for those with Alzheimer's and dementia, specifically therapy animals. Washington Therapy Dogs' manager Marlina Velasco-Barker joins Suzanne to talk about a therapy dog team formed as an extension of Answers for Elders.

In this segment, Marlina talks about seniors with Alzheimer's who have their own pets.
