Meet Mochi, Wailuku Day Dog

Therapy%20dog%20mochi%20web

Hale Makua Wailuku has added a cute, furry, four-legged addition to its family – Mochi the day dog. Mochi can be found following care partner Thaedra Aiyana-Pascarella down the hallways, or visiting with residents who enjoy her company. Mochi provides companionship to residents during the day, Monday through Thursday. She was introduced to the field of helping others with special needs children, and has gained “work” experience as a therapeutic dog from providing love and affection to clients being counseled by a Licensed Social Worker.

This is an example of Eden Principle 2 in action. An Elder-centered community commits to creating a Human Habitat where life revolves around close and continuing contact with plants, animals and children. It is these relationships that provide the young and old alike with a pathway to a life worth  living.
