For example, they can:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lead the blind to ensure safety<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pull a wheelchair<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Provide medication reminders<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Open doors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Provide pressure therapy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alert others when their handler is experiencing a health emergency<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prevent self-harm when their handler is having a seizure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pick up dropped items for handlers with mobility issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seniors with service dogs will see a considerable improvement in their quality of life as follows:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Improves Mental Health:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Service dogs benefit a senior\u2019s mental health. They help people with dementia by reminding them to take their medications and ensuring they follow a daily routine. They also provide companionship that reduces feelings of anxiety, depression, and isolation and increases self-esteem.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Improves Physical Health:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Seniors must walk their service dogs. The activity increases muscle and bone strength, balance, circulation, and cardiovascular health.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Types of Service Dogs for the Elderly<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Service dogs can be trained to perform various tasks. Seniors must choose the type of dog best suited to their medical needs. Their choices include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Guide Dogs:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Guide dogs help people with vision loss navigate various environments.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Seizure Response:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Service dogs may detect when their handler is about to have a seizure. They can also seek help if a seizure occurs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Hearing or Signal Dog:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> A hearing or signal dog will alert its owner if it hears an important sound like a doorbell or fire alarm.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Sensory Signal or Social Signal Dog (SSigDOG):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> An SSigDOG is a common companion for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/ncbddd\/autism\/signs.html#:~:text=Autism%20spectrum%20disorder%20(ASD)%20is,%2C%20moving%2C%20or%20paying%20attention.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">autistic people<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. It will alert its handler when they engage in distracting, forceful activities encouraging the person to calm down. It also alerts handlers of sensory signals and provides emotional support.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Psychiatric Service Dog:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> A psychiatric service dog will detect the onset of a psychiatric episode and help their handler deal with their emotions. This can include providing medication reminders, and keeping handlers safe when and if they become disoriented.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Considerations for Seniors Getting a Service Dog<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The decision to get service dogs for elderly care must be thought out in advance. Here are some considerations involved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Physical Abilities:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The senior must consider their physical abilities to ensure their dog has the training to help them deal with their medical condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Lifestyle:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The handler is responsible for their dog\u2019s upkeep. They must be able to care for their dog or have a friend or relative who is willing to help.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Financial Aspects:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Service dogs generally cost $15,000 &#8211; $30,000 to attain and an additional $150 to $250 per hour to train. Handlers must also consider food, veterinary care, supplies like a dog leash for elderly owners, and more. Insurance will not cover these expenses. This can make costs especially extensive for seniors on limited incomes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Long-Term Care for the Dog:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Seniors must face the reality that their dog could outlive them. They must think about who will care for the dog if something happens to them.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Challenges and Solutions<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are many benefits of service dogs, but there are also several challenges involved. Here are some obstacles you may face on your handler journey, along with possible solutions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Expenses:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Service dogs can be expensive, but there are ways to make them more affordable. For example, personal and home equity loans can provide funding for care. Fundraising is another option. Some non-profits help individuals with special needs obtain service dogs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Extensive Care:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Caring for a service dog is difficult. Not every senior is up to the task. If you are not equipped to care for your service dog, consider asking a friend, relative, or caretaker for help.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Educating Yourself and Others: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Due to a lack of education about service dogs, many people don\u2019t understand what they do, and which rules pertain to them. For example, some may tell handlers their dogs are not permitted in public places. Others may try to pet the dog thereby distracting them from their responsibilities. Handlers must be prepared for varying attitudes and educate others so people adopt the right etiquette around the dog.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Justice Speaks Makes Life with a Service Dog Easier<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Service dogs for elderly care provide several benefits including preventing medical emergencies, increasing mobility, and improving physical and mental health. Many seniors would not be as well off without them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some challenges may arise, and Justice Speaks makes life with a service dog easier by providing training to increase awareness of service dogs&#8217; roles. We educate society so they appropriately respond to service dogs regardless of whether their handlers are visibly disabled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We are doing our part to educate service dog owners and people who interact with service dogs. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/justice-speaks.org\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Contact us <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to learn more about what we have to offer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Service dogs are known for helping people with disabilities that often occur as individuals age.
