Peter a.k.a. "Accordion Pete" came to visit the residents and staff at Heart to Home. Peter comes to visit Heart to Home monthly and plays live music for the residents. He's wonderfully entertaining and is accompanied by his beautiful chocolate lab. The residents (and staff) love when they visit!

"Vinny" The Therapy Dog Comes to Visit

"Vinny" the therapy dog came to visit us at Mendota Manor today. The residents and staff enjoyed spending time with him and his owner. There's nothing like a friendly dog to help relieve you of the stresses in the day! In fact, studies show that human-pet interaction actually lowers heart rate and blood pressure. If you own a therapy dog and would be interested in bringing him/her to visit the residents at Heart to Home please call us at (651) 454-5250.
