In Our Clients Words:
We have had wonderful feedback. Not just from (IDT) members, which is wonderful, from the county, which is wonderful; but the most amount of the positive feedback we have gotten is from the people that are living there. They are so excited to be living in their own apartments.
People always ask, well what about the technology, doesn't that scare them, don't they feel like big brother is watching? First of all, in our setting, we have no cameras. Everything is a motion detector, or a sensor that reads when a door opens or closes, or when a med box or med cupboard is opened or closed. We don't have anything that allows us to look into the apartments. If we need to look in, that means we're knocking on the door, and the people are letting us into their apartments. So, the best feedback we've gotten is from the people that live there. And that's why we do the job that we do.
One of the pieces of feedback I got from the owner of our company is that he's never been so overwhelmed by so many people who wanted to stop and talk to him and thank him for the opportunity of being able to live out on their own. These are people who had lived with their parents, or lived in a waivered site, people who had lived in an apartment but it didn't work, because they didn't have enough supports – they were very thankful to have those supports in place.
