The Healing Paws of Pets

Ann Bannes, Vice President of Home & Community Based Services

“The Healing Paws of Pets ” article I read in the April edition of AARP magazine reminded me why we here at St. Andrew’s Senior Solutions do what we do and that is care for pets.

Many people asked us why so many of our clients are four-legged since we are all about older adults and I always answer, “They are part of the family and we care for the entire family.”

Aging can and often is difficult for everyone in the family and when someone has a special four-legged friends, it is important to ensure their “friend” is well cared for so they in turn can provide love and affection that we all so vitally need throughout our lifetime.

Many of St. Andrew’s senior living communities are pet friendly, whether you own a dog, cat, bird or other kind of pet.
