Whilst we recognise the benefits of pets for older people, the pet friendliness status of our villages does vary. Some villages are endorsed as ‘pet friendly’ and may accommodate a dog or an indoor cat. Some are endorsed for indoor cats only and some are not pet friendly.
It is necessary to obtain approval from ECH prior to moving in as not all units are pet suitable. The approval process considers whether your village has been endorsed to accommodate pets or not, the age and temperament of the animal. You will also be required to complete a pet assessment (at your own cost).
