Community CARES

My disabled adult son stayed here for a while, and he had his stuff stolen by another resident on the first night. Staff tried to dissuade my son from reporting it to the police, but he did so anyway, and his bag, along with 3 others, was recovered. At one point, staff imposed a previously unknown or forgotten rule on my son, and when he verbally lashed out, they kicked him out and wouldn't let him have his clothing. Part of his disability is an inability to regulate his emotions, and his memory is incredibly awful, so even if they'd told him the rule, it's entirely believable he'd forgotten. While it's ok to expect respectful treatment, I just don't understand how a person with a serious brain injury can be held to the standard when it's directly related to the disability. That'd be like punishing someone with Tourette's for swearing or having tics. Their social worker seemed to be very good and was genuinely helpful in trying to get housing for my son, so it's not all bad.

I think this is a great organization. They save lives with what they do. The outreach program is caring, compassionate, and is there when you need them. I have seen then bombarded many times with needs and they stop what they're doing to meet every one of them. Beth makes it a priority that Cares shows compassion and Simone is amazing. I have witnessed so many times when she is already doing 10 things at once, another 10 people coming in with urgent issues. She stops what she is doing to help every single one of them. I don't know how she does it. One morning I sat in amazement watching her in action. It is an organization that truly cares. I feel privileged to have been able to personally experience what they do and get to know them and become friends with such outstanding people.

I was there for just over 90 days. They have staff that don't really don't care after about 2 weeks. They don't care if stuff gets stolen that you bought. They won't even look at the cameras. They expect you to save 500 a month when you're on a monthly income. They barely help you with looking for a place to live. They need better staff to run that place. There was some good too. They gave me a place to stay, they had meals that were donated. There were some staff that were really nice. I made a few friends while I was there too. Beth Kempf I'm going to let every board member know how you really are. You don't do anything for the clients. You're not even in most of the time. You don't look at the cameras, you don't take complaints seriously and found find fault in the clients all the time. You would rather defend the bad behavior of your staff than listen to the whole story. I hope you lose your job once I'm done going to the board of trustees

It was a privilege to be able to serve a meal to the residents here in memory of Tim Settlemyer

Had items left from my trip to Harrisburg on Thanksgiving Day where I walked around and clothed and fed the homeless, they were very appreciative of the food and clothing I had left.
