Have you & your dog, cat or other furry companion been evaluated and certified as a Therapy Animal Team?
If so, we are looking for you to join our "Fur-Get-Me-Not Friends" Program at Lily Hospice!
We recognize how important Animal-Assisted Therapy (sometimes called "pet therapy") visits can be to hospice patients. Not only are these visits a welcome distraction from daily routine, but they give patients an opportunity to reminisce about their own beloved pets; and for those patients that are a little more withdrawn, therapy animals provide affection without the need for conversation. We often hear hospice patients and their families remark that the therapy animal visits are the highlight of a patient's day or week.
The most frequent request made by Lily Hospice patients is for a visit from a CERTIFIED THERAPY DOG or THERAPY CAT. We want to honor these requests! Can you help?
We welcome dogs, cats, rabbits & more; however, ALL must have proof of therapy animal certification prior to visiting Lily Hospice patients.
Our commitment to you:
- a flexible schedule at a location that is convenient for you,
- consistent and accessible staff support,
- ongoing guidance and education to ensure that you are comfortable with each assignment.

Mission Statement
Our mission at Lily Home and Hospice is to treat the whole person - mind, body & spirit - by providing compassionate, person-centered care to those in the final stages of an advanced illness. We strive to meet each individuals specific needs throughout their end of life journey. We involve family and caregivers to make the experience more inclusive rather than isolated; and we emphasize quality of life instead of the duration. It is our belief that each person deserves a peaceful, comfortable and dignified transition.
