This place was wonderful!! Even though they had no open beds at the time I needed one the most, they still welcomed me with warm hearts and set me up in the office for the night. I wish I could remember her name. She was very kind-hearted. She stayed until I was able to get there (regardless that her shift had ended an hour before), so she knew I was safe for the rest of the night. We need more kind people like her in this world. I work in the medical field, and people like her are very rare and hard to find. She's amazing at what she does and is definitely there for a purpose. I apologize for not remembering your name, but you know who you are. You made a huge impression on my life that evening and also gave me hope that there's a possibility I'll survive this nightmare I've unfortunately been delt. Thank you so very much again!! You were my hero that evening!! ❣️❣️

Men like me are abused too. My girlfriend punches, hits, slaps and curses me out daily. I don’t have anywhere to go and can’t get help because I’m a man. Unbelievable.

Has been a blessing for my friend to live for over two years. Some of the staff are very helpful and kind a help people move to the next level on their life’s. Some of the staff can be mean. Overall great experience :-)

It's a very nice place! Friendly people all around! Except someones I.D. card went missing. There were also two people who weren't getting along. I heard a woman say something about physically assaulting another woman. Nothing was done about either problem. While I was there. This occurred, in one hours time.
