“I moved into Ecuhome on June 22, 2005. I like this location because it is very close to my doctor, my church and other resources. I like Ecuhome’s Christmas party and summer picnic. Ecuhome’s staff is very supportive and very respectful. I have very good housemates and we watch TV and go for walks together. Our house has peace because we look after each other.”
