Pets in Nursing Homes | PetMeds.org

One of the things many nursing home residents miss most is the companionship of a pet. The therapeutic benefits of pets may be even greater for those confined to a nursing home, where a visit from a warm, furry friend can lift spirits and brighten the day. While many nursing homes have regular visits from therapy dogs, many more are now opening their doors to permanent dog and cat residents.

Having a pet in the nursing home creates a homier environment, and while residents may not be able to care for a pet themselves, they look forward to regular visits from the resident dog or cat. When my own grandmother was admitted to a nursing home, she kept a special bag of dog treats, and she eagerly looked forward to giving a treat to the resident dog every day.

More dogs and cats are finding full-time homes in nursing homes as these facilities realize the therapeutic benefits of pets for the nursing home residents. Many pets are allowed to roam freely in the residents? rooms, while others are part of a more structured program of pet visitations. Most nursing home residents report that they feel less depressed and lonely after a visit from a dog or cat. One study of nursing home residents found that most preferred one-on-one time with the resident pet, rather than interacting in a group setting with a pet.

Pets in nursing homes are a win-win situation: the nursing home residents enjoy the companionship offered by the resident pets, while the pet enjoys all the loving attention lavished upon them. If you are choosing a nursing home for someone you love, selecting a facility with resident pets may make the transition easier for your family member.

Have you had any experience with pets in a nursing home?

Energy-Saving Home Improvements Increase the Value of your Home

Energy-Saving Home Improvements Increase the Value of your Home

Posted by Raymond Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning on Tue, Apr 10, 2012

The National Board of Realtors has released the 2011 sales figures and the market seems to be showing signs of improvement. Vacation home and investment property sales were both up in 2011 and 5% of the properties bought as an investment were resold within the year according to survey results. The Association believes that those homes were sold after some improvements were made.

High Efficiency Appliances and Plumbing Fixtures Make a Home Much Easer to Sell

Improvements to kitchens and bathrooms, along with windows and siding which improve curb appeal, seem to be the ones that give the most ?bang for the buck.? Higher efficiency appliances and plumbing fixtures and the prospect of low utility bills are features that can make a home much easier to sell. Completely remodeling a kitchen or bathroom will require contracting an experienced plumber to perform the work but the investment could pay big dividends when it comes time to sell the home.

A New, High Efficiency Heating and Cooling System Can Make Your Home More Valuable

Another improvement that can make an investment property more profitable is a new, high efficiency heating and cooling system. Raymond Plumbing offers a variety of high efficiency, Energy Star rated appliances that are designed to keep utility bills down without sacrificing comfort. Our expert Lorain County HVAC technicians can recommend the perfect unit for your home and provide the information on any rebates that may be available to help offset the cost of the upgrade.

An investor buying a new property can also set-up a maintenance plan that includes cleaning and inspecting both comfort systems at the appropriate time of year. An annual service plan will help keep new equipment functioning at an optimal level and keep utility bills as low as possible for years to come. Schedule an Air Conditioning Performance Check with one of our technicians today to find out what improvements you can make to increase efficiency and increase the value of your Lorain County home.
