Therapy in a retirement home with a pony in Gond-Pontouvre, near Angoulême, France on March 09, 2021. Marie Pesi goes once a month to the retirement home, La Providence, where she comes accompanied by her aged Sioux pony 16 years old. They practice etiotherapy together with residents of the nursing home. The horse represents a very appreciated mediator animal. Its robustness, its emotional and physical sensitivity, its intelligence and the quality of its relationship with people make it a particularly multidisciplinary partner for mediation work. Mirror of emotions, the horse by offering a lively and enveloping portage, offers a choice route for carrying out work of interiorization and emotional liberation.

Etiotherapy In A Retirement Home – Gond-Pontouvre
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California’s attorney general and local officials say the nation’s largest senior living home operator misled consumers on quality ratings and broke laws intended to protect patients.
The accusations in a lawsuit filed Monday center on Brookdale Senior Living Inc.‘s 10 California-based skilled nursing facilities. The suit says Brookdale failed to give at least 30 days notice and failed to adequately prepare patients to be discharged or transferred.
Company officials said they hadn’t seen the lawsuit but were working on a response.
The suit says Brookdale also gave false information to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid that it uses to award care ratings.
The Tennessee-based company operates in 43 states.
