I started my journey in this field not knowing how it would become such a huge part of my life

2009:  Began my transition from employee to employer, Licensed Mariah’s Family Care Home (4272 W. Highland Blvd)

2013:  Licensed MFCHII (4504 N. 45^th Street)

2014:  Licensed MFCHIII (4274 W.  Highland Blvd)

2019:  Celebrated 10 years of Providing homes for adults with special needs and challenging behaviors

During my 20 plus year career in human services I have always enjoyed working with the more challenging members.  I feel like I can help them by understanding their needs and wants, balancing their behavior and providing consistent care.  MFCH takes into consideration each resident, their abilities, background and develops an individualized program that supports positive behavior with rewarding incentives and goals.
