Testimonials

" This is a wonderful place for Brent to go twice a week for six hours. We’ve met friends that we can do things with which is a special bonus. It is especially helpful in the every day boredom of a closing world and gives a place to laugh, play games like cornhole, sing, arts and crafts, make treats like candy and slushies, and joke around with friends. The ladies who are in charge are the sweetest people! It is patterned like respite centers in the Netherlands to give families a break to do whatever they want or need but it is especially helpful to Brent to put friends and variety into his week.

Laila, Tara, and Genevieve have all the licensing needed from the Georgia State Health Department. They are looking for more families that they can help. If you would like respite once or twice a week I strongly recommend The Tulip Place. It is a true blessing for us! "

" The program is a “God Send” for us. David gets out of the house and feels some independence without constantly leaning on me and I get a chance to make personal appointments or have lunch with a friend or just go shopping alone and not have to feel hurried which I do if I have to take him with me. Laila and Tara provide a safe, loving, fun atmosphere where the Guys can hang out, enjoy various activities, games, painting, sports, music, some exercise, lunch. conversing etc.

He was skeptical the first week, enjoyed the second week and absolutely loved the third time - by then he felt he had made some new friends and I could tell when I picked him up that he felt a sense of worth. The mens group is totally a “Guy Thing” and I feel it is important for guys to have“ guy time.”

I am very grateful for this program. I think it will help me be a better care giver because now I know that two days a week I will have some time off and I can get “recharged.”

I feel very positive about Laila, Tara and Genevieve . They are kind, caring, cheerful, and make the “men’s club” attendee feel a sense of worth and importance. Maintaining dignity for these former successful business men is very important! "
