The Power of Therapy Dogs - MTG at ROBB CENTER
Nigel started his therapy work at Anna Jaques Hospital in Newburyport where Kevin Keller worked as a mental health counselor for many years. Kevin retired this past February. In his new free time, he helps Nigel dedicate every other Tuesday to visiting senior living facilities and their memory care units in Andover, the Robb Senior Center, our town offices and even the DPW. Everyone can use a little therapy now and again. Nigel is often a fixture on Main Street during town events. He also supports many of our local businesses through his own personal Instagram page - @nigelatyourservice.
The power of a therapy dog lies in its ability to provide unconditional love and comfort, which produces measurable physical and psychological benefits, including reducing stress and anxiety, improving mood, and enhancing social interaction. Come say hello!
