One of the standout programs at Thistle House Farm is their animal-assisted therapy sessions.

The gentle presence of animals can help improve mood, increase socialization, and stimulate memories. At Thistle House Farm, seniors can participate in specially curated programs that allow them to engage with the farm animals in a safe and controlled environment.
