Family Member Quotes
“Finding the Parents’ Foundation was something of a miracle for my family and me. Now that my brother resides at the Parents’ Foundation not only is his life much more stable, but my life is so much easier. In the 5 years that he has lived there, he has not been hospitalized and I attribute that to the program there and to the wonderful staff. They are always professional, warm, friendly, and helpful. They don’t just know how to relate to and manage my brother, but they also like him and that makes me feel so reassured. The facility is homey and very well kept. The standards are high for keeping it thus, and the residents share chores and responsibilities to maintain it as it is. I used to worry constantly about my brother, but now I can trust that he is cared for. I would recommend the Parents’ Foundation to any other family looking for help for their family member and for themselves.”
“My son, with the help of medical treatment and his “second family”, the Parents’ Foundation, has not relapsed in three years. He works 15 hours a week and recently moved to an apartment in the community.”
Client Quotes
“Parents’ Foundation helped me recover from my bout with psychosis. The staff was very friendly and very eager to help me through my bout with the negative effects of schizophrenia. The staff pushed me when I needed to be pushed and held back when I needed to learn things on my own. Even to this day the Parents’ Foundation is helping me in my adjustment into a fuller more enriching life. They had set up a framework to my daily living that I feel helped me become the person I am today. I also have to say that I came a long way and Parents’ Foundation was there with me all along each step that I had to take.”
