Many older adults and hospice patients live in isolation and an ever-growing number also live in poverty or near the poverty line making them an invisible part of our communities with unmet needs. For these pet families, the human-pet bond can take on deeper meaning and value. These pets are oftentimes their sole source of companionship, comfort and love – giving them hope and a reason to get up every day.
