Many seniors who require the services of an assisted living center for many of their daily living needs can bring their pets with them to these places. Some rules should be noted though.
Why Bring Pets?
Seniors can bring their pets to an assisted living center to have a positive companion. A pet can be a great friend to any senior and allows that senior to have someone around. Seniors are often happier when they have pets living with them. Those pets can also help people with meeting others in an assisted living center.
Interviews Are Held
Many assisted living centers will hold pet interviews to determine which pets can get in a spot. A pet interview entails a review of a pet’s behavior and demeanor among other points. The pet’s dietary needs and any health concerns surrounding that pet can also be reviewed. The assessment identifies if a pet should be allowed to enter an assisted living center with a senior.
What About Limits?
There are some rules that may be noted when it comes to pets in an assisted living center. Some types of pets might not be allowed if they shed too much and are significant risks to the air quality in a spot. Also, any pets that are overly noisy may not be allowed. There are also size limits to review surrounding how large a pet can be.
Pets are attractive companions to see at an assisted living center. Bringing pets into such a place provides seniors with great friends to have.
