Dog Therapy Visits
You may have the opportunity to be visited by specially trained therapy dogs while you are a patient at Grand View. Managed by Grand View’s Volunteer Department, all visiting pets are certified as therapy dogs and subject to infection control precautions. Appropriately trained individuals aware of the animal’s health status and behavior traits accompany and control the dogs at all times.

When the handlers of the therapy dogs arrive on the nursing units with their pets, the nursing staff informs them of patients who might appreciate a visit. Next, the pet handlers knock on patients’ doors and offer a visit. As a patient, you have the option to accept or decline a visit.
