Description
AccentCare Hospice & Palliative Care of Greater Baltimore needs certified pet therapy teams to visit our patients living in their own homes and in nursing facilities throughout Harford and Cecil Counties. Visits from pets and their human counterparts can lift hospice patients' spirits, be a calming presence, and make them smile at a time they need it most. If you're already a certified pet therapy team we want to hear from you! If you would like to be certified, check out petpartners.org or tdi-dog.org, then contact us after you have completed the certification process.
The human member of the pet therapy team must complete direct patient volunteer training and screenings.
