The house itself, of course, is excellent and would be very hard to beat. The care in preparing it was reassuring, with comfort and safety in mind. Beth asked, after about two weeks in the house, "Why didn't we do this move sooner?" When we asked her what she liked about the new place, she said, "Everything." When we asked what she didn't like, she said "Nothing." Having been in medical practice for over 25 years myself, I have learned to tell good care from just show. The quality of your program, staff, and facility for our daughter surpasses our expectations.

The quality of ACR Homes is unsurpassed in the group home industry. As a mother, I couldn't be more pleased and satisfied with the level of care, love, and attention given to my son.

We are very impressed with all the staff. They are caring, capable, qualified, energetic, and friendly. Our daughter's social life has really improved! She goes shopping, bowling, swimming, out to eat, music concerts, church, and visiting other homes - and many outdoor activities in the summer...Our daughter had lived with us for all of her 29 years and we were very worried about her moving into a home with someone else caring for her. We are pleased to say that we have peace of mind with the home she has and the quality of care she receives at her ACR home.

We have always felt that ACR Homes have a more "homelike atmostphere" and that the residents are relaxed and happy. They are also treated on an individual basis and their best interests are always taken into consideration when any decision needs to be made. We would recommend ACR Homes to anyone needing their services.

ACR had two interior decorators work on our house. They had every room painted and they purchased beautiful furniture and accessories. My house is gorgeous. It is one of the nicest bachelor pads around! The staff are so wonderful. They treat me with dignity and respect. They are always interested in discovering my likes and dislikes. My nurse is amazing! She spends a great deal of time with me and she attends all of my doctor appointments. She is determined to keep me healthy and she spends a lot of time and energy to do so. My family and I are very impressed with ACR and they continue to exceed our expectations. One of the greatest blessings in our lives has been ACR. They have been a dream come true!

Brian's quality of life has improved dramatically. The staff at ACR do an excellent job making the residents feel important and empower them to help with the decisions that need to be made each day. Brian feels like an important part of the Robin Court "Family." Thanks for the outstanding job you all do.

The high standards at ACR are reflected on the staff they hire. It is my understanding that training and instruction are ongoing. ACR values guardians as important members of a team that works together for quality living. Thank you ACR!

The caliber of the young men and women hired as staff is extraordinary. They are thoughtful and caring and show a maturity beyond their years. We're happy to be served by them and your organization.

Through the years, I had heard that an ACR Homes would be the very best home I could find my daughter. So when an opening came up, we had to go for it.
I have been very impressed with all the staff. She has learned to trust them, and they are very tuned in to her needs. I do feel it is not just a job to the staff, but that they really do care for each person living there. The atmosphere is "home."

We could not be happier with ACR and the loving care our son Chris receives. From the staff to the ambience of the house you are the BEST. We continue to be impressed by your hiring policies and the continued nurturing care the residents are given. Chris' home is a warm, attractive place that he loves to return to each day.

We are writing to let you know how very blessed we are to have our daughter Terri at one of your ACR homes. She has truly blossomed under the excellent care of your providers. Her staff are always cheerful and ready to sit down with us and answer any and all questions that we have. Her life could not be any better and we are comforted to know this.

-parents of Terri who lives at Fallgold

The love and compassion the staff show my daughter and all the ladies is astonishing. And it demonstrates what ACR does best: recruit, develop, and support caregivers. Your work is driven by much more than good intentions and love, it is driven by a mission grounded in acceptance of families and people with disabilities, excellent communication, and a commitement to developing respectful, long-term relationships. Thank you, especially for being such strong supporters of people with developmental and physical disabilities and their families. You embrace our relatives and help parents like us feel good about our decisions, rather than feeling guilty about asking for help. Your advocacy and commitment to pride and dignity has improved the quality of life for all your residents. But most of all, thank you for taking such good care of Alison. With your help, Ali has friends, a warm and loving homes, and has found her place in the community. What parents could wish for more?

Our family's experience with ACR has been positive and fulfilling. Our son has grown as a person. It makes us feel so good to see the kind of person he is becoming.

Every aspect of Joe's home with ACR has been positive. The high quality environment, attention to his safety, communications, and of course the incredible staff that has always met his special needs with promptness and an extremely pleasant attitude. We are always made to feel welcome at any time to visit. I have found Joe's house to always be immaculately clean. His meals are nutritious and plentiful. His weight is carefully monitored as are all of his physical needs.
