My Name is Donnie Funch and this is my son Steven. Steven has lived in this home now
for a year. And it has been the most incredible experience. Seven Hills has a wonderful reputation
in town and we had seen them bringing people out into the community and it seemed like
it was as close as we were going to be able to get to giving him a continued, safe, and
secured existence. People at Seven Hills knew that we were thinking about an impending move
and they told me that there was an opportunity, that they were going to build another residence.
that they were going to build another residence in the community and it would be somewhere
in this area and asked me if I was interested. My husband and I just went nuts. The idea
that he might actually be able to live in a home in the community was incredible to
us. And any of the most recent photos of Steven are of a beaming happy person who is surrounded
now by a group of people that he's familiar with. And its been wonderful for us because
we see now that that continuity that we were hoping for and that sense of security is now
in place. This is a house, it's a home-right in the community that he grew up in. And now
I think he can go out into the community—not with just us but he's got a whole family of
people to take him out into the community. I never thought that we could look into the
future and see it shining so brightly for Steven. But this place made all the difference.
