I come down from Flagstaff to visit my niece April every few weeks (she has serve Asperger's) and every time I talk to her she tells me how much she loves it there and all the cool things they do. The house is always clean when I visit and the staff are always attentive. I cannot tell you the joy I get knowing she is in a quality home with the right care.

I have to say after trying a few other group homes I was starting to get very discouraged, however, my son Samuel loves his room and the people at Abba. Your staff works so hard with the clients and every time I visit I see progression with my own eyes. I am so thrilled to have finally found a place that works for my loved one.
