Assisted living residents spend morning with baby goats

MOSES LAKE — It’s been a long time since Ken Gregory has seen a goat. “When I was 10 years old, we always had 15 or 20 goats,” said Gregory, 93, and a resident of Brookdale Hearthstone Assisted Living in Moses Lake. “It was out in the middle of nowhere, we had an acre or two, but it was hardly a farm for us. But we raised goats and rabbits.” As Gregory spoke, a small tan goat hopped around, licking hands and looking for whoever has a bottle. There were two goats at Brookdale Hearthstone last Friday morning, both five months old and denizens of Brookdale Hearthstone Administrator Joe Ketterer’s farm. They’re here because Ketterer believes animals are an important way to help keep Brookdale Hearthstone’s residents connected to each other and to the world.
