Pets
Calm. Care. Companionship.
At Elevated Estates, pets are part of the family—
and for residents who bring a cherished cat or dog with them, we’re happy to welcome trusted companions into our community. Pet ownership brings companionship, purpose, and joy to daily life.
​​
​​Our pet-friendly communities allow qualified, well-cared-for pets to live alongside their owners, enhancing emotional well‑being and continuity during transitions into assisted living. Pet parents take responsibility for daily care such as feeding and gentle walks, with team members nearby for support when needed.
​
Pets contribute to significant emotional and physical benefits—especially for seniors. Interaction with beloved animals can reduce stress, lift moods, and decrease feelings of isolation. The act of caring for a pet offers routine, responsibility, and a sense of belonging. Time spent walking, brushing, or sharing quiet moments with animals has even been shown to support cognitive function, lower blood pressure, and encourage light physical activity.
Animal Therapy Visits
Not everyone has a pet—and at Elevated Estates, everyone still benefits from animal interaction. That’s why we regularly host Animal Therapy Days, where local volunteer groups bring mini horses, goats, rabbits, dogs and more for residents to meet, pet, and enjoy. These visits spark smiles, conversations, and moments of joy—and serve as engaging, sensory-rich experiences that uplift everyone.
​
Animal-assisted activities like these have proven benefits—including emotional uplift, social engagement, and relaxation. They also help stimulate memory, encourage gentle movement, and promote conversations among neighbors.
​
Why It Matters
Whether caring for a long-time companion or simply enjoying a therapy visit, these moments are more than fleeting—they nurture emotional connection and meaningful engagement. Pets and therapy animals alike bring memories, smiles, and shared experiences into daily life at Elevated Estates.
Informed and Inspired
From companionship to everyday moments of happiness, animals have a meaningful impact on well-being. They can encourage engagement, lift spirits, and create small but important moments of warmth and comfort.
