Thank God this place is getting shut down next year, the staff there all hate their jobs so much that they abuse and beat on the clients. They also steal from the clients for their own benefit - not only from the clients monthly government benefits checks, but also out of packages they receive from family. They claim they are a non profit but you would have to be pretty stupid to believe they don’t make a profit off of the client’s monthly disability checks.
