Sample family reviews

On the record

I work fourteen and seven on a rig in Reeves County. Permian is the only reason Mama can stay in her own house.
Cody H.Son of a member
I'm a night-shift nurse. I drop Dad at 6:15 on the way home and pick him up after I sleep. He eats three meals there. He's gained back the weight he lost.
Alicia R.Daughter of a member
My husband was a pumper for thirty-five years. He and Earl rebuilt a generator at the shop bench. It runs better than mine.
Darlene P.Wife of a member
Marcus noticed Mom's oxygen was dropping at lunch and called her pulmonologist. She was seen that afternoon.
Brian K.Son of a member
Abuela talks with Lupe in the kitchen every Friday about tamales. It's the happiest she gets all week.
Isabel M.Granddaughter of a member
Saturday program. That's it. That's the review.
Wade T.Son of a member
Priya had Dad walking the track without his walker four months after his stroke.
Sandra L.Daughter of a member
Rosa got Dad's VA benefit approved while I was out on a hitch. I didn't make a single call.
Jesse W.Son of a veteran member
The daily text with a picture of Mom at bingo is the best part of my shift.
Tara S.Daughter of a member
My wife has Alzheimer's and doesn't do well in crowds. The memory care room is quiet and Toni is a saint.
Harold G.Husband of a member
I can work overtime again without lying awake about Dad.
Mike D.Son of a member
