SUPPORTED LIVING HOMES

SUCCESS STORY |

A FOREVER HOME

Karen had resided at CLH’s Treatment Home for over 5 years, working alongside
her wonderful team at Pineview to set goals and focus on her successes. Together,
Karen was able to work-hard and reach important milestones. She worked on
strengthening her communication skills, developing healthy coping mechanisms,
expanding her daily life skills, and building strong relationships with staff, friends,
and her local community. Karen’s wishes were to find her forever home in this
community and continue to be supported by CLH.

This past year, that much-deserved day came. Karen moved into her very own
apartment, in the community she has come to know and love, within CLH, and
in a location with peers that she has many commonalities with. Karen has made
strong relationships with her new staff and housemates, and she began gaining
even more independence, like cooking for the whole house one day a week.
Karen has enjoyed setting up her new room, trying new things, and even did an
interview about the “big move”, showing just how happy she is in her new home,
but most importantly, with herself!
