For over the past 19 years, I have helped to provide superior care for the residents of Restart Inc. where I have helped assist residents in maintaining the highest level of independence within the realm of their disabilities. I have succeeded in this field through a combination of kindness, patience and encouragement in which the people I help serve feel valued and important. Some of the people I have helped assist have later achieved their goals and were able to leave the group home to live in a more independent living environments. I am a strong advocate for residents rights and go the extra mile to be sure they are treated fairly, respectfully and receive the services they need to maintain good health and to meet their goals in life.
