Concordia is a great facility to live in, but their policy concerning pets isn't too good. If someone wants to bring a pet to visit here, they have to call ahead of time and make sure the pets shots are up to date. The pet can't be agressive or be dirty. Also, after the visit if a resident (or an employee) happens to pet (the dog or cat) They have to wash their hands! I'm wondering, is this standard or is it a little over the top?

Well since this is considered a Health Caring Place then I would say this is normal.. They are just making sure that your safty is of their concerns.. Also they dont want that term brought up of Law Suite from anyone..

I would say it is reasonable. I'm sure there is a reason behind their policy. Most
policy comes about because of a problem in the past.

That sounds pretty reasonable to me. When I fractured my hip a couple of years ago, and was in the physical rehab section of the hospital, pets could be brought in to visit their patient parents. They weren't allowed in patient rooms unless it happened to be a therapy dog, and there was a special visitation room for them. It also had to be approved by the nursing staff before they were brought in.

Sorry honey, but I agree with everyone here. They're only looking out for the safety of the residents. Besides, with all the flu viruses and crap going around, you just can't be too careful.

After reading your posts, now I could see why it would be a matter of health instead of me thinking that they would be strict. Concordia is watching out for the residents.

That's the way it works here also, after all the staff has to be careful with their patients. I've witnessed some poorly behaved therapy dogs that were asked to leave and I fully agreed with it. Any dog visiting a care facility, hospital or nursing home, etc should be well groomed and very tractable.
