<description><![CDATA[Yes, we have had a service animal for many years that lives with a visually impaired Resident.  We made special accommodations in that the service dog can go in places that other pets cannot, such as dining areas, etc.  I don’t believe we charged a pet deposit for the service animal.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We have a partnership with Watch My Wags, a local dog training facility in our community. If a volunteer wants to come a visit with Residents with their dog, they must first be screened by Watch My Wags. The owner drops off their pet and Watch My Wags does a 3 hour screening test with the dog. If the dog is cleared, the volunteer must fill out the pet policy paperwork and give us a copy of the dog’s updated veterinary records. The volunteer must also complete the volunteer orientation. Hope that answers your questions.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We have had a resident in independent living with a service dog for the past ten years.  Really has not been a problem as the resident has the dog well trained and is sensitive to others.  We have not required pet deposits for service or regular pets.  We have talked about it and are interested in the data from this survey.  Thanks!!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As I recall, we have only had one resident apply and move in with a Service Dog.  I was surprised to learn that the reason she had the Service Dog was due to severe hearing impairment – not sight!  That was the first time I had learned of that! <br /> <br />Service Animals do not have to have administrative approval or pay the usual pet deposit. They are also allowed to accompany their owners in any area of the community; however, Service Animals must wear the designated vest to indicate their status.<br /> <br />Service Animals must adhere to the same rules as all other pets - except as noted in the attached rules:   Service Animals are allowed in the Common Areas  - including the Dining Areas when accompanying their owner.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We have never had service animals.  Currently, they can bring dogs/cats.  The only place we don’t allow dogs is in the apartments, assisted living or skilled nursing.  Deposit is not required.  However, contract holders have other requirements (neutered, on a leash, flea/tick treatment, etc.)<br />We do reserve the right to charge them for damage done by their pets.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I just had this question come up last week. We are a pet friendly community. We make all attempts to arrange for a dog visit to see if the dog will be able to adjust to community life prior to the move. We require a $300.00 pet deposit and a full copy of the shot records prior to move in. We do not allow pets in our higher levels of care EXCEPT for service animals and they are accepted in our assisted living neighborhoods. I hope that this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.]]></description>
