On December 5th Holmen Area Rotary made another Aunt Jane Project Donation. The new owners were so pleased with their new Joy for All pets and were ready to take care of them. One said " Boy, you're really something." It was a great moment to witness and see the joy it brought.
Holmen Area Rotary Club Community Need
As residents of area memory care units move into their new home, they cannot have a pet. They
may experience anxiety as their mental health declines. For some people having access to a
substitute robotic pet may be beneficial.
Our member Karla Toppen purchased a "Joy for All Companion Pet" for her Aunt Jane and it proved
to be a great comfort for Jane. Our Club could approach the memory care facilities in our area to
see if they could recommend any of their residents to receive a companion pet. There are several
memory care facilities in our area
* Bluffview Memory Care
* Caretta Senior Living
* Eagle Crest North
* Hearten House Ill
