The Importance of Pets in Senior Living

There are various physical and emotional benefits of pet ownership. These can be especially important for seniors. Pets provide:

• Companionship: They help reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation
• Routine and responsibility: Caring for a pet can give daily life purpose and structure
• Physical health: Walking a dog or engaging in play increases activity levels
• Mental well-being: Interaction with pets lowers stress and promotes a sense of joy and fulfillment

At Springhouse Village, we believe that pets can enhance the overall quality of life for our residents. That's why our community is designed to support pet ownership in a way that's both practical and nurturing.

A Truly Pet Friendly Environment

Being "pet friendly" means more than just allowing animals on the premises. It means creating a safe, welcoming, and accommodating space where both pets and their owners feel at home. At Springhouse Village in Springfield, we have intentionally designed our assisted living community with pets in mind.

Pet-Inclusive Residences

Our Springfield senior housing allows ample room for small to medium-sized pets to live comfortably. Whether you have a cat that loves to nap by the window or a small dog that enjoys lying at your feet, our floor plans are ideal for creating a shared living space that feels like home.

Located in the heart of Springfield, Missouri, Springhouse Village offers beautifully landscaped walking trails, courtyards, and green spaces that are perfect for walking pets and getting fresh air.

Whether helping with walks during recovery periods or providing information on local veterinarians and pet groomers, we go the extra mile to ensure residents and their pets receive the necessary support.

Guidelines and Considerations

While some senior living communities welcome animal companionship, it is important for them to ensure that these communities remain comfortable and safe for all residents. You should always understand any restrictions and rules that are in place before making any decisions. Here are a few guidelines that senior living communities should follow:

• Pet size and breed: Most communities welcome small to medium-sized dogs, cats, birds, and other small pets, but there may be breed and size restrictions to ensure the safety and comfort of all residents
• Vaccinations and health: Make sure your pet is up to date on vaccinations and is in good health
• Behavior: Pets should be well-behaved, socialized, and not aggressive toward people or other animals
• Care requirements: Residents must be able to care for their pets or have arrangements in place for pet care assistance

At Springhouse Village, we work closely with residents and families during the move-in process to ensure the smooth transition of both residents and their pets.
