Pets have a special way of bringing comfort, companionship, and smiles when we need them most. At First State Home Health & Hospice Care, we celebrate the healing power of love in all forms, especially the four-legged kind.
Often times, animals help their owners through the journey of grief - something our hospice team witnesses in full effect.
Their companionship is more PAWerful than they know during trying times. 🐾
