NBC Bay Area Features Hillendale Home Care in Story on Mini Therapy Horses

Hillendale Home Care was featured on NBC Bay Area in a story highlighting the special connection between older adults and mini therapy horses.

NBC Bay Area joined Hillendale Home Care Director Francesca Vogel during a visit with miniature therapy horses at Tampico Healthcare Center in Walnut Creek. The segment captured residents interacting with the horses and explored why animal-assisted experiences can be so meaningful for older adults.

For Vogel, bringing experiences like this to local seniors is about much more than entertainment. Time with animals can create opportunities for connection, conversation and moments of genuine joy, particularly for older adults who may have limited opportunities to interact with animals.

The visit is part of Hillendale’s broader commitment to providing compassionate in-home care for seniors throughout the Bay Area and finding meaningful ways to stay connected to the communities it serves
