Pet Friendly Community
At Victory Centre of Joliet, we often hear that our seniors say they don't want to make a move with out their trusted companion. We say, why should you? Our residents are welcome to move into their new apartment with their small pets. Any move can be difficult, having a familiar pet by your side often helps with the transition.
The many known benefits of pet relationships include
- Better mood
- Lower blood pressure
- Relaxation
- Stress relief
- Less pain
- Increased communication and more opportunities for touch and contact
All of these benefits can lead to better physical and mental health. Plus, with a trusted friend around, the community feels more like “home” for the residents, staff and visitors.
