Menu Pet Therapy Therapeutic Companionship with Our Community Pets Our pet therapy program is designed to improve the quality of life of our residents, providing both emotional and physical benefits. Residents interact with our community pets through Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) and casual daily contact. This regular interaction helps to: Relieve stress and anxiety Provide a source of comfort Encourage companionship Create mental stimulation These emotional benefits can be a catalyst leading to lower blood pressure as well as respiratory and heart rates. During warm weather, our residents particularly enjoy a ride on our handicapped-accessible, horse-drawn wagon. The team of draft horses and mules is made available for our use through the generosity of Stephen Gazdick, Healthwin chief financial officer. We also appreciate the generosity of the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County that provided a grant for the construction of the custom wagon.

Menu Our Grounds Healthwin’s grounds are beautifully landscaped and include walking trails, a shelter house for outdoor activities, picnic areas, patios, gardens, water features, and a playground for our youngest visitors. It is not uncommon to see deer and other wildlife crossing the open meadows on the 82 acre property, which is bordered by a lovely forest along the St. Joseph River.
