Is your four legged friend a certified pet therapy animal? Do you enjoy bringing a smile to people's faces? Aurora at Home Hospice is in need of pet therapy volunteers to visit with patients within facilities. Volunteers spend 30 min - 1 hour with a patient and chit chat, let the patient pet/play/give treats with your pet therapy animal.
Pet therapy can bring out a smile to even the most severe dementia patient. While someone with alzheimer's/dementia may not remember people or events, they can always remember their four legged friend stopping by.
Your pet must be certified and you must be able to provide a copy of the certificate. Your training is provided, a background check and health screen are required.
Please contact Miranda, volunteer coordinator at Miranda.Demske@Aurora.org or 920-412-6359 for more information and to apply.
The Aurora at Home mission is to help you live well by bringing the future of health care to you, in the place you call home.
