Why Residents & Their Families Love Gracious Grounds
It’s friendly and safe here, and I don't have to worry about what others think of me. I enjoy that there is always something new to look forward to everyday, new disciplines to take on. I know that I am not alone, but that there are others in our community who have the same passion for striving towards becoming independent.
–Tiana
“I get to be independent and be with friends. I enjoy being on my own, doing anything I want, being in my apartment, doing crafts and setting my own schedule.
I like cooking on my own. My sister takes me grocery shopping and helps me with meal planning. She helps me learn how to spend money and be smart about money”
–Becca
