A study of animal companionship in a day hospice

David N Phear

Macmillan Runcie Day Hospice, St Albans, Hertfordshire

Attitudes to companion animals were surveyed among 50 patients and staff at a day care hospice. Dog visits were welcomed by all but two. Of the 37 patients studied, only seven had a companion animal, often their closest companion. Many more would like to keep an animal, but were prevented by age, frailty or accommodation restriction.

Key Words: animals • companion (non-MeSH) • hospices • day care
