Testimonials from future client parents

“I have an eight-year-old child with special needs.  She is the youngest of five children.  We have a crazy beautiful life full of many activities.  Life can be hard to juggle with typical children but add a special needs child in the mix and it makes things so much more challenging.   She is non-verbal, G-tube fed and is severely developmentally disabled. We cannot just call up any typical babysitter to watch her when we have an activity with one of the other children.   We love to include her in as many activities as we can, but she does not enjoy most of the long days of sport tournaments or places where she has to sit and be quiet for an extended time.  It has been very stressful to find and train caretakers for her over the years.   Having a respite care facility close that is trained to meet the specialized needs of our daughter and feels like a home away from home for her will be a true treasure.”

"I am the mother of two young children diagnosed with Autism. They require constant supervision and support, having a respite center available in Greeley will be extremely beneficial for my family. It’s very difficult to find quality care with experienced staff for my children. Respite care will give my husband and I peace of mind but will also give my children the opportunity to socialize and develop. This is an amazing resource to have here in our community! We are really looking forward to the center opening!"
