At Hamberley Care Homes, we are deeply committed to the wellbeing of not only our residents, but also the animals who bring so much joy and comfort into our homes through therapy visits. We are highly selective about the organisations we partner with, and we take great care to ensure that any animal therapy provider we work with upholds the highest standards of animal welfare.
We believe that therapy animals should be treated with the same respect, compassion, and care that they help provide. That’s why we only work with trusted organisations whose values align with our own — those who are fully licensed, experienced, and dedicated to ethical, responsible practices. This includes regular welfare checks, appropriate rest periods, proper handling, and environments that are safe and nurturing for the animals.
Every visit is thoughtfully planned to be positive and enriching for both our residents and the animals involved. By holding our partners to these high standards, we ensure that animal therapy continues to be a safe, joyful, and meaningful part of life at our care homes.
