"Our son had always lived with us, and the idea of him moving out was overwhelming for all of us. But when he moved into Hasseltine House three years ago, everything changed. We watched him transform in ways we never imagined. He made friends, built meaningful connections, and began to embrace his independence with confidence. The day he invited us over to his house and proudly showed us around was a moment we’ll never forget. Hasseltine House didn’t just provide a place to live—it gave him the confidence and support to truly thrive."

"Hasseltine House has provided our son with the ideal environment to grow into the next phase of his life, fostering greater independence. The blend of supportive staff, welcoming location, wonderful housemates, and vibrant community is just perfect.
When our son first moved into Hasseltine House, we were unsure how he would adapt. He had always been hesitant about new environments and struggled with change. But from the moment he arrived, we saw something incredible unfold. The staff welcomed him warmly, and his housemates quickly became his friends, helping him feel at home.
As time went on, we noticed significant changes in him. He started taking more initiative in his daily life, exploring his surroundings with a newfound sense of independence, and actively participating in community activities. One day, he called us with excitement, sharing how he had organized an outing with his new friends. It was a moment that brought tears to our eyes because it was clear he was not just adjusting—he was truly thriving.

"I always worried about what would happen to my brother after our parents were gone. As his sister, I’ve always felt a deep sense of responsibility, knowing that one day I might be the only one left to ensure he’s safe and cared for. The thought of him being alone, without the support he needs, kept me up at night.
When my parents found Hasseltine House, it was like a weight was lifted off our shoulders. We watched as my brother transitioned into his new home, and for the first time, I saw him truly begin to thrive in a place that understands and supports him. The supportive community around him gave us all a sense of peace we hadn’t felt before.
Now, I know that when the time comes, my brother will be in good hands. I can focus on being his sister, knowing he’s in a safe, nurturing environment.
Hasseltine House hasn’t just provided a home for my brother—it’s given our family the reassurance that he’ll be supported throughout his life, and that I’ll be able to continue being there for him in the ways that matter most."
