Senior Communities Pet Care Program
Helping seniors and
their pets stay together
LICENSED, BONDED, and INSURED
As we age, the bond we share with our pets can become even more meaningful. Pets can provide life-changing companionship, purpose, comfort, and opportunities to stay active. At the same time, the day-to-day responsibilities of caring for pets can become more difficult with age. Knowing that many older pet parents have to consider giving up a beloved companion when care becomes challenging is one of the reasons Eden Pet Care got started.
We're here to help!
Through this program, our goal is to help older adults care for and keep their pets as long as possible. Often that means providing direct care for their pets, and other times it means offering guidance, care management, and creative solutions to help these pet parents manage their pets’ needs as independently as possible.
The program benefits everyone
Residents receive the support they need to care for and keep their pets.
Families gain peace of mind knowing this support is available to their loved ones, and can participate in the process.
Community staff have a resource to help solve pet-related challenges for the residents they care about.
