Mom
If someone wanted to bring a pet into my home, they'd have to call ahead and then I'd tell them 'no' anyhow because the Fur Posse would not like it one bit. And I wouldn't want an aggressive or dirty animal in my home either. As for washing hands afterwards, I wash mine so often it's a wonder I have any skin left on them. So I think Concordia's policy is normal and looking out for the residents.
Blessings,
Mary

"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
Misses her Beloved Cody
I used to bring Logan with me to visit my mom, with no notice. Surprisingly, with no formal training, she was awesome and everyone loved her. I took her in the evening The therapy dogs came during the day This was quite a while ago, so I'm sure policies changed. Nobody said a word to me. But I can certainly see the reasoning.
I've been Boooo'd!

Most of it I understand.
I am surprised people have to phone ahead to bring in a pet for a visit.
I routinely take my pets to hospitals, nursing homes, adult day programs == wherever my Dad happens to be. I don't call first, just walk in with which ever cat or dog I have.
The rest of it - pets up to date on shots, not aggressive or dirty, washing hands after petting, - all normal for a health care place.
