Many senior living communities allow pets such as cats or dogs. Those that wish to find such places nearby can perform a search by county or zip code. Since demand for animal friendly communities has increased, a growing number of places are accepting them, as pets provide a number of benefits to their owners.
About Our Pet Friendly Community
The Welstone At Mission Crossing provides a number of benefits to those that own pets, which include apartments for active independent living which provide one or two bedrooms that are large enough to accommodate them. There are also parks nearby that will give your pet the space to play and explore.
Benefits of Having Pets in Your Senior Living Community
Studies show that having a pet will benefit the health of their owner by reducing their blood pressure while also keeping them occupied. These animals will also alleviate feelings of depression or loneliness, and pet owners have been found to have a lower risk of infection and are healthier overall than those who don’t own one.
It is well known that dogs in particular have a powerful ability to smell things, so much so that scientists have recently discovered that some can detect cancer. When a pet detects a tumor it may routinely sniff, lick or paw at it. Additionally, every dog requires daily walks to remain healthy and happy and the same is true for humans, so having a pet gives you the perfect excuse to go outside to get some fresh air and exercise. You can also fraternize with other pet owners who live in the area.
When Should You Consider Moving into a Senior Living Community?
