Elderly are referred to us by police departments, churches, mental and health facilities, and families. Most have no family support or families that cannot afford to assign them to a senior care facility. We have four residents that have neurocognitive disorders. For these we are blessed with our collaboration with a nonprofit called Alzheimer's Community Care that offers Day Care Centers and training for our staff to assist these four individuals. Most of the elderly that are with us will be with us for the remainder of their lives. Our focus is to enable them to begin a new life with a loving family surrounding them. For those that are able, attend worship services five days a week, daily Bible studies and other group programs we offer. They enter our door as guests and after a few weeks become part of a family in all stages of recovery that help each other in becoming new creations.

Single mom's are referred to us by the Florida Department of Children & Families (DCF). DCF assigns a single mom or dad with their children to one of our Christian Recovery Houses. This prevents the children from being assigned to a foster home. The children can stay with their parent until they complete their assigned parenting course. They can then be re-united with their children and when able, leave our care and move back into the community living independently. While under our care they attend worship services five days a week, daily Bible studies and other group programs we offer. They enter our door as guests and after a few weeks become part of a family in all stages of recovery that help each other in becoming new creations. There has been 17 family reunifications where the single parent regains custody of their child.
