Easing the Transition into a Senior Living Community with a Loving Pet
When placing your loved one in a senior living environment, there?s nothing more important than making sure that this new place will be ?home.? This is perhaps one of the most difficult transitions for our family members; they have to leave everything they have ever known behind and start a new phase of their life.
If you are currently in the process of choosing a senior living community for your parent, you may find that Mom and Dad aren?t always cooperative with the idea of leaving their home. There are mixed emotions when making this type of life-changing decision, and although your loved one may know deep down that it?s the best thing, it doesn?t make moving easier.
Bringing Along a Piece of ?Home?
Since we want to make this progression as seamless as possible, Kensington Park is one of few communities in the area that allow pets. If your family member currently has a pet, bringing this cherished animal along will allow your loved one to settle into their new surroundings and bring a piece of ?home? along with them.
Studies have consistently shown that pets have a profound effect on our happiness and well being, and at Kensington Park, we cannot overlook this belief. We, too, love our animals, and we feel that they are part of what home means to us. We couldn?t possibly ask our residents ? the people we care so deeply for ? to leave such an important part of their lives behind.
Pets Bring Love, Joy and Hope to All
For many of our community members, having their pet along with them has helped them to adapt to their new living environment. But even those who may not have had pets in their previous homes have decided to become the proud owner of one. These ?special friends? have brought additional happiness and support to our residents as they transitioned into our community.
Our staff continually sees how pets give our residents a sense of purpose. Residents enjoy checking on their furry friends and having someone to nurture and someone that depends on them. In fact, our whole community enjoys the presence of animals, and we?re always amazed to see the therapeutic effect they have on our senior living community at large.
If you?re dealing with feelings of uncertainty as you make decisions for your loved one, consider the small but profound detail that our community is pet-friendly. This may be the very piece to the puzzle that enables your family member to quickly adapt to our community while having a constant companion to nurture and love.
