Farm animals make the rounds at Wahoo nursing home
Nursing homes and assisted living centers are working on the front lines keeping some of the most vulnerable safe during the pandemic.
In order to keep the residents entertained a Wahoo nursing home enlisted the help of some four legged friends both big and small.
Safe Haven Living Center locked down and restricted visitors six and a half weeks ago.
They’ve had to completely rethink how they do resident engagements but this week they invited visitors they’ve never had before.
“We just went up to each window and the residents just lit up,” said Brooke Belina an administrator at South Haven. “There were some of them that had some help standing at the window so they could see them better.”

Belina reached out to her good friends Courtney and Zack Kaup after seeing this at a Wyoming nursing home.
