MAKING MOVE THE

There’s no doubt about it, Matthews continues to attract new residents each year. Whether you’re moving to Matthews to raise your family, pursuing a career or enjoying your shimmering golden years, the Welcome to Matthews magazine is designed to provide those new to the area with a wealth of information and resources that hopefully make your transition as seamless as possible.

Moving can be an exciting time as you begin new opportunities. Everything is new. You’ll have new favorite restaurants, a new grocery store, a new sports team to cheer on, new routines, new neighbors and new friends. Here are some helpful tips to help you get established and connected and make your new town feel like home:

PREPARE FOR THE MOVE:

RESEARCH AND PLANNING

It takes significant time and energy to understand a new town and navigate the many neighborhoods that one could potentially call home. Research the area to consider your options. If you can, explore Matthews and the different neighborhoods in person or research it online. Talk to people who live here and ask about their experiences.

UPDATE YOUR ADDRESS

After you move, make sure you update your address so the following service providers know where to reach you:

- Your bank

- U.S. Postal Service

- Department of Motor Vehicles

- Social Security Administration

- Tax agencies

- Utility companies

- Homeowner’s insurance providers

LEARN ABOUT YOUR NEW TOWN

• Focus on the basics first First things first: identify your local grocery store, gym, school, and workplace in relation to your new home.

• Get out and explore

To really grasp the unique charm of this place, you have to walk the streets, eat its food, drink its beer, and get lost in all that Matthews has to offer. Start by exploring your immediate neighborhood and slowly expand the perimeter of your new town. Visit local landmarks and tourist attractions to learn more about the history of the place you’ll be calling home.

BE OPEN TO MEETING NEW PEOPLE

• Visiting coffee shops, parks, shopping areas, or volunteering at local charities are all great ways to meet new people.

• Check if any of your old friends have friends in the new town, and if yes, then try to establish a connection with those people.

• Connect with coworkers who many become close friends or introduce you to more people in the area.

• Be friendly to neighbors and put some effort into getting to know the people around you. Drop off cookies. Host a dinner. Help them carry their groceries in for an easy introduction.

GIVE YOURSELF TIME TO ACCLIMATE

Adjusting to moving to a new town can vary greatly from person to person and depend on numerous factors. For some, it may take just a few weeks to start feeling comfortable and settled, while for others, it could be a huge deal that would take several months or even a year.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING A NEW HEALTHCARE PROVIDER

There are many reasons why you might be looking for a new healthcare provider. Maybe you've moved to another city, or perhaps your doctor is retiring. If you need a new doctor, here are some pointers to help you find the right one for you.

WORK THROUGH YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY

One place to start is by looking for a healthcare provider in your insurance network. Most insurance plans have a list of physicians who are in-network, which means the care you get will be covered under your insurance policy. While you can go out of network for care, it may cost more and some things may not be covered by your insurance. Your insurance carrier probably has a list of in-network providers on their website, or you can call them to ask for a list of physicians in your network and in your area.

SEEK RECOMMENDATIONS

Referrals from people you know and trust are an excellent resource for locating a new service provider. It is also possible to ask one provider to suggest other providers. For instance, if you have

a dentist you like, you could ask them to recommend a doctor.

CHECK CREDENTIALS

When you have found a medical professional, check their credentials—not just the type of degree that he or she has, but also whether they stay up-to-date on the latest advances and changes in medicine. Beyond a basic state license, check to see if they hold any other certifications?

EVALUATE THE LOGISTICS

Choose a healthcare provider who practices in a location that is convenient for you. That could be a place close to where you live, or may be a clinic that is close to where you work if you think most of your visits will take place during daytime hours. Check their office hours to confirm they align with your needs. Also, confirm they are accepting new patients.

CONDUCT AN OFFICE VISIT

Stop by the office when you have found the right provider. Consider the professionalism of the staff as well as the cleanliness of the office. Find out how long it

usually takes to get a new appointment. Consider how well they pay attention to and handle your concerns. Always remember to ask a lot of questions.

TRANSFER YOUR RECORDS

After selecting a provider, request the transfer of your records from your previous provider to the new one. They will need to know about any chronic conditions you may have, the results of any past exams, your medications, and your family’s medical history. Transferring records from your previous provider will help with a smooth transition.

Experience the Fear Free Difference.

ou may have heard the term Fear Free from a friend or seen it advertised. Founded in 2016 by Dr. Marty Becker, it comprises a group of different veterinarian professionals and pet experts gathered together for the single purpose of preventing and alleviating fear, anxiety, and stress in pets by inspiring and educating the veterinary professionals and people who care for them. Since its inception, more than 132,000 professionals have become Fear Free Certified and more than 187,000 professionals have registered for the various Fear Free veterinary and pet professional programs.

In 2019, Passionate Paws Animal Hospital proudly joined an elite group of practices to attain the honored distinction of becoming a Fear Free Certified Practice. This cer-

tification means that all our doctors and team members on staff, including our groomers, are all individually trained as Fear Free professionals. Being Fear Free certified validates much of what we have already practiced since opening over four years ago. Fear Free certified practices will have successfully implemented Fear Free into all aspects of their business: culture and leadership, client education, staff training, the facility, and most importantly, patient visits. My husband and I built our hospital for pet parents because we are pet parents and so is everyone on our team. We set out to create a unique experience for both pets and pet parents that put your furbaby at the center, promoted and delivered a Fear Free experience, provided integrative pet healthcare, and partnered with you as the primary care-

giver in developing customized treatment plans. When we started our design, we knew nothing of the Fear Free program, we just knew there had to be a better experience for pets and pet parents than the traditional vet visit so many of us have experienced in the past.

A visit to the vet should be pleasant and fun, not stressful and fearful. In order to do this we completely reinvented the look, feel, and even smell that has long been associated with a typical animal hospital. But, we didn’t stop at design. We also reexamined our approach to patient care and pet parent service to ensure a calm, pleasant, and fun experience for pets and pet parents alike.

At Passionate Paws, we strive to make every patient visit a Fear Free experience as every team member wants your pet to be happy when he or she walks through the door of our animal hospital. Fear Free doesn’t mean that your pet will never experience anything uncomfortable at our hospital-he or she may be injured or ill, after all-but it does mean that we make every effort to reduce any fear, anxiety, and stress related to examinations, procedures, and grooming. Here are a few of the ways we help your pet stay comfortable and relaxed from arrival to departure.

When you first arrive at our hospital your senses and your pet’s will be greeted with pleasing smells from our aromatherapy diffuser, designed to calm and relieve anxiety. No hospital should smell like an animal hospital, and ours never does. To ease our patients even more, we have designed our waiting area to be species specific, with cats and dogs on opposite sides. Taking it one step further, we built a cat-only exam room (no dogs allowed) to provide an added layer of calmness for our feline friends. For those dogs that are a bit more nervous, we can bring you right

away into our side door that leads directly into an exam room. For our anxious cats, we can bring them directly into the cat-only exam room upon arrival.

Upon entering the exam room, you and your pet will notice that performing exams on a cold, slick table are a thing of the past. For our dog patients, we provide comfortable bedding on the floor, where our medical team conducts the majority of their examinations and procedures. For our cat patients, we offer a cat tree as well as warm bedding to perform the majority of the examinations and procedures. Each room is equipped with natural pheromone diffusers that emit calming substances into the air that are specific to dogs and cats, and play species-specific music bioacoustically engineered to calm your pet (and maybe even you.)

These examples and more await each and everyone of our patients and pet parents at Passionate Paws, providing a very unique one-of-akind experience. Our hospital becoming a Fear Free Certified Practice is just the natural progression from what my husband and I envisioned from the start. We are so excited to continue to improve the experience for our existing pets and pet parents and for those that are still to come. n

Thinking about adopting a four-legged friend? There are numerous adoptable cats and dogs who would love to join your family.

Adoption Process

• Bring your ID and adoption payment.

• Bring a leash/collar set for dogs, and/or carriers for cats and small pets.

• When you find a pet, you are interested in meeting, take a picture of the kennel card and head to the customer service desk.

• Staff will provide any and all information listed and then bring the pet to you.

• When you fall in love and ready to adopt, keep the pet in the room, and go back to the staff.

• Provide your ID, phone number, and email address to complete the adoption process.

• If the pet you are interested in adopting is spayed or neutered, they can go home with you the same day! Otherwise, you'll adopt but they'll have to stay to get that done. Staff will let you know their surgery day and time of pickup.
