Welcoming You and Your Pets As Part of Our Family
We believe that supporting all areas of life that bring you joy is important, and we understand that pets are part of your family. That is why many of our Benedictine Living Communities are happy to welcome them. Research shows that pets enhance the quality of life by improving physical fitness, reducing stress, boosting mental health and creating opportunities for social connection. From dogs and cats to birds and fish, the calming effects pets offer are well documented
Our Pet Policy
We realize that some individuals suffer from allergies and take steps to reduce or eliminate pet dander through the use of dandruff shampoos or towelette wipes and well-ventilated spaces to reduce allergens throughout the building. Whether you would like your family pet to come for a visit or move in with you, talk with the staff at your community to learn about your options.
