A little comfort can change a day.

Aged Care & Seniors Visits

Warm, consistent animal-assisted wellbeing visits for aged care residents and older adults across Melbourne.

Kate and Murphy from Golden Bond Therapy

Connection, companionship and reminiscence.

Golden Bond visits can create gentle opportunities for conversation, shared memories, social connection and simple enjoyment — including for people living with dementia or experiencing social isolation.

Individual or group visits.

Visits are tailored to the resident, group and facility. Kate can work with lifestyle teams to plan one-to-one visits, small groups or recurring programs.

Consistency matters.

Residents see the same familiar team — Kate and Murphy — every visit. Recurring bookings can be weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
