Fairview Haven Retirement Community

Furry and Feathered Friends!

Pets are good for us, especially for senior citizens.
Recognition of this truth is growing through research in the benefits of pets.
Click here to see one example of such research:

At Fairview Haven, Gilmore the dog roams the halls.
He is a delight to those who live here.
Gilmore has established some fame as a columnist in News From the Haven.

We also have a cockatiel named Pedro.

And various residents have their own parakeets in their rooms.
One resident said, "I don't know what I'd do without my bird.
He keeps me going."

We also have visiting animals on various occasions.
