I love this. I know from experience with an aging parent having a pet is great for helping them transition to a new space as well as the benefits to their mental health and morale. Having a pet is having a companion and friend. They give us so much in return. We don’t deserve them. I think as long as the pets are properly cared for in return, it’s a positive thing.

I love everything about this! There are so many dogs out there that could benefit from this arrangement, enjoying the love and affection that they would receive from those in assisted living facilities. At the same time, as you outlined, there are so many benefits for the residents. It’s a win/win situation across the board for everyone involved.

I love how dogs provide a great cheer in any household or community/facility, and to anyone regardless of age, living condition or status.

I do agree that it will be great to have dogs in those facilities. The benefits will be overwhelming.

I think it is fantastic if senior facilities allow pets as they keep us healthy and therefore really important. I could not see my life without a dog as Layla keeps me balanced mentally plus gets me out of the house. Great post which really makes you think about this topic.
