Power of Animal-Human Relationships: Aging in Place with Pets
- 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
According to a recent AARP survey, three in four older Americans want to stay in their homes and age in place. Animals can help build the perceived social support and social networks needed to age in the community.
This virtual series focuses on the animal-human bond, and how our relationships with animals can reinforce good health while strengthening and expanding the social networks of older adults. This 4-part virtual series will reflect different facets of the animal-human relationship. This series is for both people who currently own a pet and those who do not. We believe that everyone can experience and appreciate connections with domesticated and wild animals.
Aging in Place with Pets
Join us for a conversation about the challenges we face to keep our pets as we age well in place. We will explore issues such as the financial and physical challenges to keeping pets as well as considerations for caring for aging pets. You are invited to have your pets join you in this informative zoom session. Offered by Maureen MacNamara, Kelly Williams and Emily Dakin.
