Does your pet enjoy people? Would you like to bring joy to others in a fun and simple way? Then, Vitas Innovative Hospice Care invites you and your pet to participate in a pet program, by visiting VITAS nursing home patients. Pets provide a renewal of friendship and show unconditional love to hospice patients. Many patients have had to give up their pets and they miss the interaction and devotion. The visits leave behind memories not only of the visit, but also of past experiences. All kinds of pets are invited to join!
