Morning Pointe Alzheimer’s Center of Excellence in Russell, Kentucky is blessed to have not just dedicated people but animals, too.

Elizabeth Townsend, the executive director of Morning Pointe brings her Jack Russell terrier to work almost every day. He brings joy to the residents and staff, giving due attention to those who need it. Everyone can cuddle him, pet him, or talk with him.

A huge black mastiff named Midnight Moon from Portsmouth also visits the facility when his owner does a circuit.

Many residents bring their pets in their apartment too, which is encouraged at Morning Pointe. As Katie Smith, life enrichment director at Morning Pointe says, “They always remember to care for their pets.

They also have a sanctuary for injured turtles—a garden with flowers and vegetables, a garden tended to by the residents themselves. They also accept turtles donated by the community.

Smith is also reaching out to vet clinics and society to get more pets to visit them. For interested volunteers, your pet must be licensed as an emotional support animal or as a therapy pet and should have a proof of immunization.
