Castlebank Care Home, Tow Law, are helping us end loneliness..
Manager June Pearson told us: “We support Wag & Company because these visits have a really positive effect on our residents and they love them too. There are so many benefits for them, sensory stimulation through stroking and talking, reducing stress and increasing their emotional well being and just having the comfort and familiarity of a dog again for the dog lovers.”
