It's important for a parent to know that their son or daughter is taken care of and they have the 24 hour per day supervision and they have opportunities to go to dances, activities, and functions in groups or individually… the fact that they have people who are helping them to learn how to cope with their everyday problems in their home life & apartments…it's important for parents to know they're continually growing…

For a couple of months I was busy with my other son's wedding and didn't interact with the program as much as I normally do. I was able to trust that good things were going on and that good care was being delivered. And the staff was supportive of my son's outside activities-he was best man at his brother's wedding, and they listened to his endless stories about that and coached and encouraged him about the upcoming event. I am very pleased.

John Nicely, from your RSS program, fights for quality life options for consumers EVERY DAY. I have a photograph of John hugging Tony and Domenic, on the front doorstep of the house they were able to buy; and John looks like he died and went to heaven! This is your employee's life investment.

I would say that you're not afraid to take difficult cases, behavior and medical. One individual here, there were not a whole heck of a lot of responses for him, and RHD came up to the plate, and said, 'Hey, we can try it.' And you're quite successful.
