The National Assembly decides this Tuesday on the future of the amendment which authorizes the presence of pets in nursing homes. Some, like the Fontaine residence in Asnières-sur-Seine, already accept these furry companions.
According to an Ifop survey for the 30 million friends foundation published last February, 9 out of 10 French people (86%) are in favor of welcoming pets into nursing home. “Even for a million I wouldn’t have let go of Choupette,” says 91-year-old Sylvain Salama.
