Benefits of such programs include increased communication with other residents and caregivers, stimulation of voluntary physical activity and reminiscence about past experiences. Pets Are Wonderful , the pet visitation program at Champaign County Nursing Home, involves bimonthly visits by community volunteers and their pets. Teams visit with interested residents on an individual basis. Visits include activities such as friendly conversation, obedience and trick demonstrations, and brushing or petting a volunteer's dog or cat. We also do educational programs for schools and care facilities.
Pets Are Wonderful is financially support through the generosity of donors.
