Theres No Place Like Home Project
Founded 2012
In 2012, The Pet Prescription Team started a program called; “There’s No Place Like Home.” This projects goal, as well as vision, is extremely clear. To take the time and energy to create a relaxing atmosphere for a less fortunate resident/patient by giving them a room make over. We not only help them to pick up their scattered belongings, we transform their room into a place they feel comfortable in. We do this by talking to the patient, getting to know their likes and interests and from there we purchase items and make over their rooms to make them feel more at “home,” leaving a lasting impression on their lives.
In 2014, we expanded this project to include children’s hospital rooms and outreaches to families in need of support by providing items for long term care during hospice care and in home care. This project also includes providing special events for oncology patients. This project not only recognizes the patients struggle but acknowledges the families difficulties during a time of illness. The animal assisted therapy visits we offer at the Pet Prescription Team provide an unconditional healing bond to all we visit. Whereas, “Theres No Place Like Home,” project is a constant reminder after we leave they are loved, appreciated, and not alone.
