25.01.2022 Australians love their furry friends. Whether you have dog, cat or bird, the family pet is a huge part of our lives. Research has shown that caring for a pet can actually improve the health and well being for older adults. Perhaps one of the most fascinating evidence of health benefits from pet ownership was revealed in a 1980 study of heart disease patients. After months spent examining these patients and recording details of their lives and lifestyles, it was concluded tha...t "the presence of a pet was the strongest social predictor of survival - not just for lonely or depressed people, but for everyone." Even social support and marital status had less of an effect on longevity. At Oak Tree, we understand and know how important pets are to our residents and how much more enjoyment youll get out of your lifestyle with your pet by your side. Our pet friendly villages all cater for resident pets. Your decision to live in an Oak Tree village wont mean you have to leave your feline friend or canine companion behind. #bbf #petsofoaktree

When this happens, it may be time to consider downsizing. Here are some reasons why it... could be a good time to downsize. https://www.oaktreegroup.com.au//why-it-s-a-good-time-to-d #oaktree #retirement #downsizewithconfidence
