At Frank Residences, we firmly believe that pets are more than just companions—they are cherished members of the family! That’s why we proudly welcome pets into our assisted living community, ensuring that residents can continue to enjoy the companionship their furry (or finned!) friends bring to their lives.

Pets add a special layer of warmth and connection to our vibrant community. Whether it’s enjoying a quiet evening in your apartment with your cat curled up nearby, sharing smiles with neighbors during a daily walk with your dog, or the gentle rhythm of a fish tank, pets truly make our house feel like home.

We understand the vital role they play in a senior’s well-being and are committed to creating a space where both you and your beloved pet can thrive together.

Frank Residents’ Pet-Friendly Guidelines

Our pet policy is designed to keep both residents and pets safe, happy, and thriving. We’ve established a few guidelines for our community’s pet residents and their owners:

  • Pet Types and Limits: To ensure a peaceful environment for all, we welcome dogs under 25 pounds, cats, and fish. We also have a one-pet-per-apartment limit to help maintain a calm and comfortable community for every resident.
  • Leash Use and Supervision: For the safety of all residents, dogs must be on a leash and under adult supervision whenever they are outside of your apartment. This prevents pets from wandering and ensures everyone feels secure in our common areas, including our outdoor spaces.
  • Spaying, Neutering, and Training: For the health and well-being of all animals, we require that all dogs and cats are spayed or neutered. Additionally, all pets must be house-trained before moving in to help us maintain a clean and pleasant environment for everyone.
  • Designated Pet-Free Areas: While we love our furry friends, some areas are designated as pet-free to ensure the comfort of all residents. Pets are not permitted in dining areas, the fitness center, or cultural spaces like the library or theater. As always, trained service animals are welcome in these areas.
  • Respect for Communal Spaces: Our communal furniture is for our human residents to enjoy. Please help us keep these spaces clean and welcoming by ensuring your pet stays on the floor and off of our sofas and chairs.

Simple Steps to Bring Your Pet

Moving with your furry friend should be easy, and we’ve designed our pet-friendly community with that in mind. Our goal is to make sure every resident, human and pet alike, feels right at home from day one. To ensure a smooth transition and a safe environment for everyone, we’ve established a few simple guidelines.

  1. Complete a Pet Agreement: including a one-time $500 non-refundable pet fee.
  2. Provide Pet Documentation: proof of vaccinations and registration with a licensed California veterinarian.
  3. Designate Caregivers: two trusted contacts who can step in to care for your pet in case of illness or emergency.
  4. Annual Check-In: review with our Resident Services Manager to ensure you and your pet continue to thrive.

Why We Have a Pet Policy

Our pet policy is a thoughtful framework that makes sure every resident and every animal is safe, healthy, and cared for. It provides structure without taking away the simple pleasures of pet ownership, and most importantly, it ensures that if your circumstances ever change, your pet has a safety net of care and support.

At Frank Residences, we believe that the bond between residents and their pets is one of life’s greatest joys and one worth protecting. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and enjoyable home for all residents.
