Our Mission

Experiencing the hardships of having our grandmother in the residential care of others, we made it our personal mission to provide the most respected and dignity filled environment for vulnerable populations needing community based residential shared housing. Mrs. Willis holds a Master of Science in Nursing, dual Certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, with over twenty years’ experience working in the medical field and social services sector.
Ms. Ballard has over fifteen years experience working in the medical field and social services sector.

Her children often jest that she has an addiction to learning, as she's continually seeking new knowledge and skills. With a heart as vast as the ocean and a burning passion for helping others, she leverages her unique personality and medical expertise to positively impact her community. She's devoted to easing the struggles of vulnerable populations. This purposeful drive is not only what she aspires for herself but also the values she instills in her children.
