The Value of Pet Visits: Priceless!

Meadow Park recently said farewell to a very dedicated volunteer and her four legged partner.  Felicia and Ollie have been visiting the long-term care home for the past year providing pet visits to the residents who call Meadow Park home.  Ollie is a 9 year old black lab who is a St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog with the Southwest Ontario Branch.  His owner, and visiting partner Felicia, are very proud to provide friendship and companionship to the sick, the elderly,  and the isolated.  The value of their visits is hard to put into words. Ollie’s presence is comforting and he has the ability to comfort residents and staff alike.  His visits  bring back fond memories for the residents and in some cases find their smile again. The residents and staff wish to say thank-you for the joy and comfort this special duo has brought to our home. We wish you all the best on your next adventure!

Meadow Park Chatham is a fully accredited long-term care home proudly serving the community of Chatham-Kent since 1979.  Tours are always welcome – please contact Lydia Swant to arrange a time to view the home and discuss care and services offered. (519)351-1330

From the Staff & Residents at Meadow Park we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.
