Pet Therapy
Research over the years has shown there is a strong correlation between
pet ownership and improved health. In fact, in one study, most people
said that when they are stressed or worried, playing with ,or confiding
in the pet relaxes them or calms them down. St. Mary's Manor embraces
this philosophy by sharing our home with Baxter (a cat), Daisy Mae
(a rabbit), JoJo (a bird) and a few fish. Mitch, a golden retriever,
spends Fridays at the Manor.
