This year, when seniors were unable to visit friends and family, the benefits of sharing their home with a four-legged friend became all the more evident.
Here was a constant companion, someone to relax with, and once spring arrived, take outside to soak up a little rejuvenating sunshine.
Research has shown having a pet can offer older adults several benefits – including that companionship and emotional support, but also the benefit of a routine that comes with feeding, walking and caring for a pet, along with higher levels of physical activity that can also encourage better health.
Just a few reasons why pets are welcome at Quail Park of Lynnwood, where its comfortable, lodge-like aesthetic offers a safe, comfortable, pet-friendly environment.
That’s also why, as seniors consider a retirement community, it’s important to look for one that accepts pets, if they’re part of their family.
“Our residents are family, and that includes all members of the family, including their four-legged companions,” says Denis Bryant, president and CEO of Living Care Lifestyles’ recently expanded Quail Park of Lynnwood.
And with a full complement of well-appointed residences, from independent living cottages and apartments to assisted living and memory care accommodations, seniors appreciate the opportunity to age in place with their furry companions, in homes that suit their needs today, and tomorrow.
Get out and explore
Pets are wonderful companions as we stay close to home, but when the outdoors beckon, Quail Park’s picturesque hilltop location with adjacent forested preserve is ideal. With onsite walking paths making it easy to enjoy a leisurely stroll along accessible, paved paths, there’s no better place to take Fido for a turn!
An inviting community to call home
While a pet-friendly setting is a highlight for many Quail Park residents, it’s just a small part of a lifestyle they love.
The talented team of chefs serves a delicious menu across three dining options, while recreation possibilities include a heated pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center and a robust activity calendar. Residents also appreciate thoughtful in-suite amenities like full kitchens, walk-in closets, and washers and dryers.
No wonder Quail Park is the residence of choice for residents in Lynnwood, and beyond!
