A Staff Appreciation Picnic is planned to show gratitude to the staff in our region. As we work/house individuals with a wide range of disabilities, this has continued to be a trying year. Staff we have are extremely dedicated and at times have worked in excess of their 40 scheduled hours/week to maintain coverage in our homes as they are staffed 24/7. We also have a very dedicated management team who has also jumped in to assist wherever necessary as to help prevent burnout and cover shifts as to be able to give staff breaks. 

I really cannot say enough about this team except I am grateful to be apart of such a dedicated team that come together as the individuals always come first, they go above and beyond in providing exceptional care education and assisting in building independence, while offering choices for each to live their best lives.

As for the individuals, they all have been awesome also, as we continue to be short staffed.  Finding ways to provide what they would like and sometimes finding the staff as to make it happen. They all have remained relatively patient and understanding as we continue to work through this staffing struggle.

We are looking for donations as to provide a chinese auction to both the staff and individlals, each that attend will receive tickets (for free) as to enter to try and win the donated prizes they choose to use their tickets for.
