Pets Help Combat Loneliness at St. John’s

St. John’s Meadows resident Sue LeSage and her dog Princess were recently featured on News 10 WHEC-TV in a special segment focused on the benefits of pet ownership and animal companionship throughout the aging community.

Sue, who was previously at Brickstone by St. John’s, moved to St. John’s Meadows in early May of this year and she says the “attitude [at St. John’s] is very open and loving, pets are part of the picture and considered lovingly here.”

Sue told Hailie Higgins of News 10, that “[Princess made a] huge difference. She gives me great comfort, and joy, and everything. She has brought me friends, and I’ve brought her friends.”
