J’Chai has been a life savor to so many families, including mine. I am so grateful to have been introduced to Judy, Stacy, Elyn, & Beth. It was such an honor to be asked to collaborate with Howard Krooks of Cozen O'Connor on your recent Parent and Professional panel. May J'Chai continue to go from strength to strength.
My son, who is on the autistic spectrum, is a resident in the JCHAI program. We are extremely pleased with the staff, accommodations and events at JCHAI. I feel secure knowing that my son is able to live in an independent but supported living arrangement. The staff is truly caring and offer an amazing schedule of events for the residents. I highly recommend JCHAI and feel fortunate that our son is in such good hands.
As a neuropsychologist specializing in transitions to adulthood, I find JCHAI unlike any other related organization. Their commitment to their residents is truly extraordinary, It is no surprise that they have become a national model for creating caring residences and programs that are well-integrated into their local communities. I refer clients and families to JCHAI all the time! Edward Moss, PhD
JCHAI demonstrates a long standing committment to their consumers and programs. Staff are clearly passionate, seasoned, and skilled, where employees see the work not as a job but rather a vocation.They have also helped train and then hired some of Widener's excellent social workers. Creative, meaningful programming is offered that evolves with consumer needs and the times.
JCHAI is an incredible opportunity for those with special needs. The residents live in a kind, capable and fulfilling environment complete with exceptional care, beautiful friendships and well thought out activities. My son has been so blessed to be a thriving part of the JCHAI community for about 5 years! We are grateful for JCHAI!!
