Testimonials from parents of residents

The WHH arrangements are ideal. The rent is very reasonable. For those on SSI/SSDI income it allows them some spending money each month. There is always company for friendship and security. One does not need to live alone in an apartment. They don't need to be concerned about food and utilities. There are laundry facilities. They learn about house cleaning and cooking. There are in-house activities. There are computer connections. There is so much more! The residents are lucky. Lynn: you guys are providing very valuable services. Thanks to you, the Board, the volunteers, and the donors.

We wanted to thank you for any assistance you have given her since her move to Rancho Cordova. She is getting into cooking, takes care of her Para Transit rides and does her laundry. WOW!

I understand things are going well for my son's move. I'm so relieved he is going to Welcome Home! I think he will benefit from your program, and, hopefully, you from his input. Even though I'm prejudiced, he is a great person and has a lot to offer/give. It just needs to be tapped. With your and Connie's help, this can be accomplished.
