I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the services Rae’s Playze is providing for our daughter.  She is 23 years old and has been on the NC Innovations Waiver since she was around 6 years old.  While she was in school, we had caregivers in our home through several agencies over the years.  A few were excellent, but many were not.  After she graduated from Metro School, we continued to try to manage her care at home with caregivers from various agencies.  Again, the help we got was sub-optimal – unreliable, untrustworthy, uncaring, and more.

The decision to have her attend a day program was difficult for us.  She is our only child.  She never enjoyed school, and I was afraid a day program would be the same.  Much to my surprise, she loves attending Rae’s Playze.  She is happy when she goes in the mornings and super happy when she comes home.  Rae’s has opened up an opportunity for her to socialize with other people, go out into the community, and be treated like a princess.  The transportation service is very helpful and allows me to get to work on time.  The employees at Rae’s are compassionate, loving, and seem to genuinely care about the individuals who go there. 

Putting her in a day program was one of the best decisions I have made.  We have been extremely pleased with Rae’s Playze and the services provided.
