"I would like to thank Adult Life Programs for providing me with the respite care that I desperately needed. To be able to have a few days break means a lot to me. Even on the days that I am stressed from caregiving, Adult Life Programs staff make ME feel special."

The staff responds to my dad with a smile and “good morning” and I see him breathe a sigh and smile back each morning."

Caregiving Isn't for Sissies!
Stories from Adult Life Programs
Hazel H. is a strong, independent woman. She had to
raise 7 children by herself, working in hosiery,
furniture and being a waitress. Her sons, Bruce and
Wayne, admit they don’t know how she did it. She
didn’t even drive until she was 40 years old! She
walked to work and if she thought there would be bad
weather, she would pack two lunches so she would be
able to stay and work.
Then, in 2003, Hazel had a stroke. By all accounts, she recovered from it well but began to become
forgetful. Her children became concerned about her but they had different ideas of what to do. Some of
the children thought their mom needed to move to a facility. Wayne and Bruce disagreed. Read the full story...
They don’t exactly say it was love at first sight but it is
obvious watching them laugh and tease that they were
interested in one another early on in their meeting and
still very much enjoy one another’s company. Jimmy and
Ethel Johnson make a striking couple who are both quick
with a laugh. They were married in 1986. Good times were interrupted when Ethel had a stroke in
1999. The news was dismal. The doctors predicted that
Ethel would live her remaining days in a nursing home in
a vegetative state. Ethel had different plans. She
recovered enough to be able to be discharged from the
nursing home and return home with significant needs, including full time use of a wheelchair. This
recovery was a blessing; however, Jimmy was working full time at the telephone company. He had to be
at work at 8:00 a.m. He hired help to come to their home and care for Ethel, but often the help showed up
late or cancelled. He frequently had to leave work early to get home to relieve the help. Read the full story...
