Testimonials

"Choosing Advanced Independence was an easy choice for both myself and my members. The program is rich in engaging activities for the members both at program and out in the community. My member particularly loves her Job at the Glorious Treasures Thrift Store next door, which is part of the GSE Program. Every day my members are greeted by caring and loving staff, greeting everyone with hugs and smiles."

- by Joanne

We are incredibly grateful to have found Advanced Independence—it has truly been a gift in our lives. For over 12 years, we have been part of the A.I. family, and from the very first day, it felt like home.

Before joining Advanced Independence, we were with a much larger agency that had grown so much that the personal care we valued was no longer a priority for every individual. What we love most about A.I. is its perfect size—big enough to offer abundant opportunities yet small enough to provide truly personalized care. The support here extends not only to the members but also to the parents, creating a strong sense of community.

Every day, we are grateful to be part of a place where we feel we truly belong.

- Merille McMillan

We chose Advanced Independence for several reasons. One of the things we love most is that every morning begins with prayer and devotions. The staff has been incredible, always encouraging our daughter to excel and grow. For the first time, she has peers she truly considers friends, which has been so meaningful to her.

Our experience with Advanced Independence has been nothing short of wonderful, and we are so grateful to be part of this community.
