She enjoys her home and some of her favorite activities include arts and crafts and when her staff reads books to her. Pam’s staff is like family to her.
Kevin
Kevin’s APSI rep. often visited him in the hospital and rehab facility after he was relocated from the hospital. His team went above and beyond to ensure that he always had a familiar face around during his recovery; going to the hospital can be scary and having dedicated friends and staff can make it easier.

Joe
Joe has had some exciting new events take place over the last year. He lives in an apartment on his own and he has a new service dog named Mama. It took Joe a little while to find the right place to live, his APSI representative helped him with that every step of the way.
Gloria & Emma
Gloria and Emma are roommates and share many of the same interests. They enjoy shopping, crafting, and decorating their apartment for the holidays. During our visit the ladies were busy making decorations for Valentine’s Day! Gloria and Emma have amazing staff who enjoy doing all of these activities with the ladies.
