By Bill Cook, development director         

St. Jeanne  Jugan, foundress of the Little Sisters, was quoted as saying “Making the elderly happy, that is what counts.” Today our Residents were made very happy by “Kelly” a beautiful black Labrador therapy dog. 

About two times a month our Home is visited by therapy dogs and their handlers. Our Residents are always so happy to have a visit from these four legged friends. They really enjoy petting them and offering them a small treat. Many of our Residents had pets over the years, so a visit from a gentle dog like Kelly brings back many happy memories of their own beloved pets. We are especially grateful today for Kelly and her handler Helen Guilford, they brought a lot of smiles to the faces of our Residents.
