Families can best express what the Misler Center has meant to them and their loved ones. Here are some of the letters we have received.

...It perks up my spirits when Maria tells me about her days with you at Misler. It has made a huge difference in her outlook on life. Tuesdays and Thursdays are threads of gold in her weekly calendar.

...Due to my 2 part-time jobs I often have to make last-minute arrangements. Were it not for The Misler Center’s understanding, I would not be able to work. I always get a pleasant voice on the phone and a willingness to help.

...Since it is almost 6 years since his severe stroke, his abilities are very few, but it is a tribute to your programs and staff that he always wants to attend — no matter how tired or depressed he may be.

...There is not a day that goes by that my Mom does not talk about her day at Misler and how wonderful it was. She struggles to remember specifics, but her eyes light up with excitement when we ask about her day. All her friends and relatives are amazed at how she emanates life and joy trying to recount her day at the Center. It is clear that Misler has become her home.

...It was apparent from the beginning that every member of the staff recognized and was attentive to my father’s needs. I believe he received a great deal from the program. In addition to the socialization, I know that he felt he was being cared for. On the way home, he always said the day was “wonderful.”

...As a family member of a participant I personally experienced the staff’s friendliness, concern and support. I was greeted warmly every Monday and Thursday morning and afternoon. The caregivers’ support group was a tremendous help to me. It was a place where I could vent my frustrations without judgment.

...I am writing to let you know how grateful and impressed I am at how good the Misler Center has been to my Dad. It begins with the call that my sister gets from the dispatcher, to the courteous bus driver who comes to the door and helps him walk to the bus. Everyone is so nice, gentle, and patient. When my Dad returns from the Center he comes back with so much information about new things he learned and activities that he performed.

...I want to take this opportunity to thank you and the entire staff of the Misler Center for not only helping my father be all he is capable of being at this difficult time in his life, but also for giving me and the rest of my family the security of knowing that when he is not with us, he is still safe, secure and stimulated.
