FACEBOOK.COM/WESTNEWSMAGAZINE WESTNEWSMAGAZINE.COM November 7, 2018 WEST NEWSMAGAZINE I MATURE FOCUS I 41 Medicare Open Enrollment is Coming! Stonecrest of Wildwood resident Ray Smith visits with Banks, a miniature therapy horse. [Stacy Rolfe photos] LITTLE VISITOR, from page 38 tells the same story every time she and Banks visit, about riding up and down nearby Wild Horse Creek Road on his own horse many decades ago. “Just for that period of time, the residents are able to recall these special memories, and it really gives them a bright spot in their day … That, to me, is huge,” she said. “It’s very therapeutic for the residents to have Banks come in,” agreed Patty Durfee, Stonecrest of Wildwood’s life enrichment director. “The hands-on interaction is wonderful for both their emotional and sensory needs. Seeing Banks sparks a lot of memories for many of them, either from where they grew up on farms or raising their own children.” The visits also stimulate the horse’s NEWS & NOTES, from page 37 be motivation to do something about it and be successful at taking care of your heart. Join a multidisciplinary team of health professionals (nurse, dietitian, pharmacist and exercise physiologist) to discuss proven strategies that will help you to take control of your health and minimize your risk of complications.

At this point, though, Stonecrest is Banks’ only therapy commitment away from home – both because of the preparation required and for his own well-being. Before each visit, he gets a bath and extensive grooming, is fitted with special non-slip shoes and a “potty bag,” and is transported in the ranch’s custom van. “It’s a big endeavor to get over there and to come back, and I don’t want to overextend him … he gets bored and worn out. We are very respectful of his time, too,” she explained. However, the Stonecrest residents’ visits with Banks may soon include one to his home as well. Durfee said a future outing is in the planning stages, potentially early next year, for residents to visit Banks and the Rolfe barn’s other occupants at R&R Ranch. Class on Tuesday, Dec. 11 from 6:30-9 p.m. in Building D of the hospital, 3023 N. Ballas Road, Suite 400 [participants should park in the North Garage below Building D].
