This webinar will highlight the Pet Assistance Linking Support program at Benjamin Rose, a nonprofit organization in Cleveland, Ohio, that serves elders and their caregivers. The volunteer-based program helps with basic pet care needs, thereby enabling elders to age in place with their pets. The research behind the creation of this program will be presented, along with the challenges and successes of planning and implementation.

Objectives:

• Describe the demographics and social determinants of health that impact elders’ approach to pet care
• Describe how partners from multiple sectors collaborated to address the needs of older pet owners in their community
• Identify locally available resources that can help elders continue living at home with their pets
