💛 25 years of friendship!

Kristin and staff member Lisa have been working together for 25 years, and at this point, it’s safe to say they’re more like family than staff and the person supported.

Long-term relationships like this can make such a difference in the lives of the people we support. Having someone who knows you, understands what matters to you, encourages you to try something new, and celebrates your accomplishments can be incredibly meaningful.

Progress programs are about helping people build lives filled with independence, connection, friendship, and the things that make them happy. Here's to 25 years of Kristin and Lisa, and many more adventures together! 🥰

It's hard to believe summer is winding down! One thing's for sure - Evelyn and Companion Pam made the most of it. They had a great time this summer traveling to Gatlinburg for a little vacay! They had a great time seeing attractions, going swimming, and enjoying summer vibes. Progress programs help people live their best lives, independently and with happiness - and that includes vacations!

Technology is a tool that can have a true impact on the lives of the people we support. Here Lou is communicating with the help of an iPad. The iPad helps Lou communicate his feelings and needs, which helps staff Matt Vollman provide even more effective supports tailored to Lou. This and other enabling technology tools help bring maximum independence to many.

Rico had a lovely visit with his mom! Family connections are a vital component of health, happiness and independence. Although support staff are often considered "family" to the people we support, we are grateful for strong family connections and the difference they make in the lives of the people we serve!
