What it’s like to be understood.
My child was born with a developmental delay and serious mental illness 23 years ago. During that time it was extremely difficult for our family to provide adequate care and support for them, which was hard on all of us. It was especially difficult for us to find services that could help, because our child was demonstrating aggression on a frequent basis. We found that because of this, there was a very limited amount of resources that could support them. After 20 years we were finally able to find our child a long term living arrangement with Springview.
I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care and personalized treatment provided by Springview.
My son was diagnosed with a serious mental illness 25 years ago. During that time he was moved around several times trying to find the best care available to him. We never found the right fit for him and he deteriorated drastically and was very hard to manage resulting in frequent hospital stays and police involvement. Last August when he was at his lowest, we got a placement for him at Springview. The change in him was drastic. The care he is receiving from the staff has been life-changing for all of us but mostly importantly for my son. He is clean, well-groomed, is getting the medical attention he needs, and has programs in place to help him continue to progress.
The decision to put my son in a group home was one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life; The idea of ‘complete strangers’ looking after my little boy was, frankly: Terrifying, especially given his multiple special needs.
It was not long after that these ‘total strangers’ became my sons’ family in every sense of the word. I honestly can never say enough good about Springview, their staff, their services, and what they have done for my son.
