Kim Cassford, who is a member of the SEARCH board, recently took her daughter  on a tour of the group home. Emma, who works at a youth group home on Isle of Wight, England, was interested in observing residents, staff and the house for ideas she could incorporate into her own job. 

​

After the tour by Robin Tull,  Interim Group Home Administrator, and Judy Franz, Board Chair, Emma was very impressed with the homey, charming decor, the walking path and the outdoor patio. "It's a proper home,  and it's lovely," she said.  Emma also was impressed to learn the residents had been on 23 outings in the past month and the proactive approach the staff takes on finding creative opportunities and experiences for the residents. During her visit, she also toured Shen-Paco  with Ingrid Thompson.
