Juniper Village Wellspring Memory Care at Brookline welcomes a purrrrfect new friend: Ladybell the cat! But Ladybell isn’t your average furry feline; she’s a high-tech therapy pet that is charming everyone she meets. Designed specifically for people who are living with dementia, therapy pets like Ladybell can provide all the soothing and playful benefits that a real cat offers, in a safe and allergy-free manner. Just like any other cat, Ladybell purrs when her head is gently stroked, and rolls on her back for belly scratches. She even blinks her eyes and falls asleep when she curls up in someone’s lap! Ladybell also serves as inspiration for Juniper’s “Don’t Sit, Get Fit” walking program, as residents enjoy taking her for walks outside. Therapy pets like Ladybell are one way Wellspring creates a high-tech, high-touch environment to deliver state-of-the art memory care. By incorporating new technologies, Wellspring is able to discover new ways to nurture the spirit of life.
