Human-Animal Interaction and Intergenerational Programs: Little Moments of Joy Can Transform the Day

The past two years have brought plenty of challenges to post-acute and long-term care (PALTC) communities, and many of us feel the weight of dealing with a marathon of problems that never seems to end. Despite all obstacles, we continue to return to the PALTC settings that we love, and many of us have found some solace in the positive experiences that we have with residents, families, and one another. These little moments of joy are priceless and can truly transform the day.
