Sample family reviews
Families on the record
I work nights at the VA. I drop Dad off at 6:40 on my way home and sleep. That is not a small thing. That is my whole life working.
My mother painted in the Thursday studio with an artist whose work I've seen in galleries. She brought home a canvas and hung it herself.
Kevin had Dad walking the taped track with a cane by Christmas. In September he was in a wheelchair.
Gloria walked us through the waiver application in one afternoon. We'd been stuck for months.
My husband was a mechanic for forty years. He likes that it was a garage. He tells people he's 'back at the shop.'
The Saturday program is the only reason I can still work weekends at the store.
They noticed Mom's breathing was off before lunch, called me and called her cardiologist. She was in and out of the clinic the same day.
Come in at 6:30. We'll have coffee on.
