In Their Own Words...

Although Ken and Barb were apprehensive about making the change, they are very happy to be back in MetroWest. “Giving up the house is tough after 19 years, but we’re having fun,” says Ken. “Other places we looked at in our price range didn’t compare, and the staff makes sure everything runs so smoothly here.”

“It is good to keep moving,” Elena says, “I like to stay fit and catch up with my friends – and my daughter likes knowing she can have her own life without worrying about her mother.”

“I had been staying on a friend’s couch for two years because I couldn’t find a place I could afford. When I got into Covenant House, I leapt at the chance!” Now Patricia has a place of her own that she can be proud of and she has her independence while also having access to staff and activities that help her thrive. 

“Living here is good for my quality of life. I am a foreigner and it’s a great to talk to the other residents and learn from them, and they like to learn from me as well. I’ve never met people so kind – they are really special.”
