Description
Do you have a friendly pet (cat, dog, or other well-behaved animal) at home? Bring joy to older adults in long-term care facilities by visiting together! FriendshipWorks will match you with a facility in your neighborhood, and you visit weekly or every other week for 1 hour. Pets do not need to be certified support or service animals; FriendshipWorks will conduct a pet assessment to ensure they are prepared to visit older adults.
To learn more, visit https://fw4elders.org/what-we-do/petpals.html, and fill out an application online. A program coordinator will then reach out to get started.
