Six séances de médiation animale pour les aînés de l'EHPAD des Peyrières

Centre Hospitalier de Rodez

Residents of the EHPAD des Peyrières in Aveyron enjoyed six animal mediation sessions in 2026, thanks to financial support from the Conference of Financiers for the prevention of autonomy loss.

The Department of Aveyron and its partners support the prevention of autonomy loss for individuals aged 60 and over. Within this framework, the Conference of Financiers launched a call for applications for 2026 to fund prevention actions for seniors throughout the territory.
Following the application from the Centre hospitalier, funding was granted to the animal mediation project implemented at the EHPAD des Peyrières. This initiative enabled the organization of six sessions for residents.
Animal mediation promotes interaction, stimulates the senses, and contributes to the well-being of the elderly, offering them moments of sharing and conviviality. This program also targets individuals over 60 living at home, as well as isolated caregivers.
The Centre hospitalier thanks the Conference of Financiers for the prevention of autonomy loss of Aveyron and the institutional partners for their financial support and commitment.
