Touching Lives
Brothers Jason and Ronald used to live with their grandparents until their health forced them to seek assistance in caring for their grandsons. Hope Haven's Personal Support program was an instant success, providing full time care that enables the men to live on their own in an apartment.
Personal Support staff assist them 24 hours a day helping the men with household tasks, shopping, personal care, transportation to work, medical appointments, and community activities. Jason works five days a week and on weekends if needed, while Ronald attends programs at Hope Haven two days a week.
