I recently wrote a short paper on the incorporation of animals in long-term care. I found some really great and interesting articles. I thought I would share my reference list for anyone who was interested.

Resource for Animals in Residential Facilities (none / 0)

Check out the book:
Animals in Residential Facilities: Guidelines & Resources for Success.
This book was put together with several animal professionals and also those who have a background working the Long Term Care & Assisted Living Environments. I highly recommend anyone seeking to bring animals into these environments to get a copy of these guidelines!!! It is Available through the Delta Society Website bookstore.
