Equine Therapy at Clark

Equine Therapy is an integral part of Clark’s Life Enrichment programming for all residents – from independent to memory care, and assisted living to skilled nursing.

Research shows that Equine Therapy offers many benefits including reduced anxiety, less feeling of depression and isolation, increased self-esteem, and even better social and communication skills. These peaceful animals also enhance physical and emotional healing. Many of our residents grew up on West Michigan farms, and for them, getting to experience a little piece of home at Clark makes a huge impact on their lives.

On what our residents affectionately call “Horse Visit Day,” we see a line of people waiting their turn to pet and get close with the horses. It’s a beautiful sight to see.
