A lot has happened

Wow, what a month. I have switched agency's to a retirement home called AarenBrooke Place. I have found that the work is nothing like what I expected. They are trying to start a new service-learning project. They want research to prove that animals are beneficial in assisted living homes. This research may be able to help them get a grant that will be able to let the people have pets without worrying about the cost of having a pet living with them.
My orientation was only 30 min long. It covered what we were going to be doing and what was the next step for the group to do. There are four of us in this service project. The other three are seniors and picked this one because it looked easy on there and it fit to your schedule. It's nice to be able to do some of the work at home rather then having to be there.
The research that I have been doing has found articles and studies that actually prove how helpful it is.

More about research later.
