So Sorry about your aunt.
About animals in nursing homes: At my Dad's nursing home, there was a cat who lived in the neighborhood and was allowed to come visit but didn't live there plus my step-mother was able to take their dog to visit Dad. Dad was there for 4 years. When he first moved in there, there was a dog that came with one of the residents and lived there. Sadly, one of the other residents beat it with his cane and they weren't able to save it. The dog was a big old sweetheart and loved everyone and didn't bark or even growl. That ended the allowing animals to live there. This was an Alzheimers unit so the resident who beat the dog may not have even been aware of what he was doing. I have no idea what the staff was doing while this happened. I think the dog wondered into his room and he beat it. Personally, I think it's best not to let animals live there unless they are surpervised when near the residents because of this. (at least not in the Alzheimers units).
