EXTENSIONS OF OURSELVES

OUR MISSION

Our mission, at Aging in Place with Pets, is to help older adults and disabled adults in the Greater Burlington, Vermont Area to take care of their pets. We stand up for those who represent these vulnerable, but still capable, populations to keep them with their pets since they motivate them to get, and stay, independent within the comfort of their and their pets' homes.

OUR VISION

Our vision is to continue to pioneer the role of occupational therapy in the United States in this often-overlooked Instrumental Activity of Daily Living among older adults and disabled adults. We are redefining what it means to "age in place" among these vulnerable populations whose cats and dogs represent the cornerstone of their lives by helping them to structure their morning, daytime, evening, and nighttime routines around their pets. 
We believe that our extensive knowledge and expertise on using this very subtle, yet highly effective, approach to improve the physical, cognitive, and mental health of older adults and disabled adults is invaluable.

Our values

openness & honesty

We are who we say we are.

Dignity & Respect

We treat you and your pets with dignity and respect, which is why we made it our slogan.

Volunteering & Community Service

Everyone on our team is committed to volunteering two or more hours per week for our Tuesday & Thursday Program, which helps some of the most vulnerable populations — and therefore pets — in the Greater Burlington, Vermont Area. 
Most of our participants are single, low-income (or very-low income, including formerly homeless) older adults and disabled adults with multiple, chronic health conditions.

Safety, comfort, & independence

We are committed to helping older adults and disabled adults to improve their performance in the instrumental activity of daily living of the care of pets.

Meaning & Purpose

We incorporate meaning and purpose into everything that we do — from our Monday & Wednesday Service to our Tuesday & Thursday Program to our Friday Workshop.

reassurance

We want you to know everything is going to be okay.
