Frank is a resident at Nichol Place, one of our Mental Health Assisted Living facilities. Compared to the smaller assisted living program he previously lived in, Frank feels much more cared for at Nichol Place. He says he feels “ less lonely and depressed and [I] am not sitting in my room stressed out like I used to be before coming here. This is my safe place. ” Since coming to Nichol Place in October 2020, Frank has been working on improving his health, getting in shape, and working towards staying safe and secure in his life. With encouragement from staff, Frank has already increased his confidence and independence, started a routine to stay healthy, and more frequently keeps in contact with loved ones. Most importantly, Frank says, “ my mental health has improved significantly. I feel like I ’ ve conquered my depression with the help of staff, my scheduled medications, co-residents for company, and my routine. ” “ I feel good and safe. This is home and it feels like a family – I ’ m happy and excited to continue my recovery at Nichol Place. ”
