ASSISTED LIVING
Dogs and cats are accepted at the following assisted-living apartments. One establishment even provides pet care assistance.
HOSPITALS
Therapy pets are accepted at the following hospitals. According to News Net Nebraska, “pet therapy is a relatively new trend that has increased the past few years in the Omaha and Lincoln areas”. Groups offering pet therapy services include: Angel Dogs, Domesti-Pups, Healing Heart Therapy Dogs, Lincoln Pet Partners, Love on a Leash, and Midlands Pet Therapy. Of these, Healing Hearts Pet Partners, and Love on a Leash use a wide variety of animals for therapy including cats and rabbits.
At Bryan, the hospital has two types of pet therapy: “One uses animals as an actual part of medical therapy in which the animals are directly worked into a patient’s rehab with doctors. The other type … involves the animals visiting the patients in their rooms for comfort.”
HOTELS
Type, number, and size of pets allowed will vary by hotel and even location. Generally, there is a deposit and an extra charge per night; some hotels will refund the deposit upon check-out. Often pet-friendly rooms are limited; sometimes they double as the smoking-allowed rooms. Call ahead for availability and details.
