Client Testimonials

At Just Friends we see first-hand how day service programs benefits both caregiver and their loved ones. Below are some testimonials from participants and families that have been touched by Just Friends' care.

• Just Friends
  Let me tell you about my home away from home.
  It’s what I call my refuge from the world.
  Where I never feel alone.
  I can always come in there and hang my hat.
  Even when I don’t want to come up to bat.
   
  The people there are full of love
  I feel the presence of many white doves.
  Even if I need a good place to take a nap,
  I can always feel God’s presence with a little tap.
   
  If ever there was a cure for loneliness,
  It would be this place,
  Just Friends. The friendliest.

• I don’t feel like I am failing Dad by bringing him to Just Friends. The time away from him is a great rejuvenator for both of us. We enjoy the evenings and weekends more now than we did before.
  » Long-term Caregiver, participant needed memory care
• I know a lot of communities don’t offer this. We are fortunate to have this in our community.
  » Caregiver
• It gave me the time to get the household things done, the laundry, the grocery shopping, cleaning the house. It gave me a break that I could have a little time with him not being here. There were times it was pretty stressful, Alzheimer’s is not an easy disease to live with.
