Those who worked there were often too scared to drive there if there was a "dusting" of snow. And those who move there are also allowed to bring their pets. Plus, there's the "Noah's Oasis" program in the nursing home part where there are dogs on one hall and cats on the other - and patients are allowed to "rent" a pet bird for company which is fed and cage cleaned by employees. My grandmother named hers Amelia. Just hoping that everyone there is okay - including the pets.
