Pets have an extremely positive impact on the health and wellness of seniors. However, certain physical or health limitations can make pet ownership difficult or nearly impossible for some individuals. Learn how Visiting Angels’ dedicated caregivers can offer resources for seniors who own a pet.

Caring for an aging loved one is an important responsibility, but sometimes you may not realize when your caregiving duties are having an adverse effect—both physically and mentally—on yourself.
