Many Homes *DO* allow "Pets" to visit ... a phone call to the Administrator would be advised.

My Mom's Retirement Village / Apartment Complex strictly forbid any pets from even "visiting" -
but the attached Health Center / Nursing Home welcomed ALL well-behaved Pets and
encouraged visiting pets to "make rounds" and visit as many residents' rooms as possible.
Cinder & Smokey always had a ball visiting Mom on Sundays; and were "requested" in other
rooms as soon as they were spotted.

SOME Homes insist that visiting pets be "Certified Therapy Dogs" -
ask Amy - Cincy, Sadie, & Spot are all Certified and do frequent nursing home visits. Simba could be schooled and pass his Certification if the Home requires it.

A Simba visit to Mom would be a nice Birthday gift - good luck pulling it off!
