Our Stories

of Love and Compassion

The Andrew Family

In a world where families affected by disability often expect to settle for less, Jill's House has always exceeded our expectations. It feels less like a service provider and more like a wonderful and welcoming community that truly knows our son—and our family.

The Holsinger Family

"Watching those genuine connections grow—with both the staff and her peers—has been one of the most meaningful gifts Jill's House has given our family."

The Buttie Family

Jill’s House has given us a “tribe”—a community of families who understand our world without explanation. There’s no judgment, just shared experience and support. Most importantly, Jill’s House doesn’t just care for our children—it’s like they celebrate them.

The Adkins Family

When I pick Jaxon up from Jill’s House, sometimes he tells me to “go home” because he doesn’t want to leave. That secretly makes me happy. He usually falls asleep about ten minutes into the drive home, completely worn out in the best way.

The Green Family

Even though I desperately needed rest, the thought of leaving Johnny somewhere was terrifying. Would anyone else know how to care for him? . . . But Jill’s House is different. Every single person there loves him exactly as he is. They truly see him and delight in him.

The Escoto Family Story

Jill’s House gave us something we’d never had before: rest and trust. For the first time, I knew Elena was completely safe and surrounded by people who celebrated her, who saw her light. I could finally exhale.

The Tatikonda Family Story

Jill’s House has given Esha new experiences and confidence, and it’s given our family peace and rest. When we pick her up, she comes out with a big happy smile every time. That smile says everything.

The Vargas-Portocarrero Family Story

The Jill’s House adult program is a dream come true. Ricardo is welcomed, engaged one-on-on, and growing in independence. When I drop Ricardo off, I feel complete peace. That is no small gift.

The Schutz Family

When our family wondered where we belonged, Jill’s House welcomed us with open arms. They didn’t overlook our differences or try to smooth them away. They said, because of your differences, because of your unique needs, you belong here.

The Pietrini Family

What Joe and I value most are the incredible opportunities Carmine gets at Jill’s House. It's not just about the respite for us as parents (though that's definitely appreciated!); it's about watching Carmine thrive.

The Mickles-Bass Family

JoJo and I had never been separated until he started going to Jill’s House. As a single mom, I’ve always been protective. But from the moment JoJo walked in, I saw the way the staff welcomed him like royalty.

The Fisher Family

There’s nothing like knowing your child is safe, happy, and celebrated while you get the chance to recharge. The team at Jill’s House goes above and beyond, and they truly care. It’s not just respite; it’s a community—a lifeline.
