"For the first time, my son has a real schedule. Bowling on Thursdays. Art class Mondays. He's not just being supervised, he's living."

— Daniel, parent

Community-based support · 8 months · Edison

"What surprised me was how prepared the aide was on day one. She knew my brother's medications, her mobility limits, everything. Like he'd already been with us for weeks."

— Rosa, sister

CLIENT SUPPORT · 6 months · Jersey City

"When mom passed, I became my brother's guardian overnight. I didn't know what I was doing. The team sat with me, not just to plan services, but to teach me what 'sister-as-guardian' even means. They've been my education."

— Janelle, sister & guardian

INDIVIDUAL SUPPORTS · 9 MONTHS · ESSEX COUNTY

"Caregiving is not only about helping someone complete a task. It is about protecting their dignity and helping them feel confident in their own home and community. THHS gives me the support and training to provide care that feels personal, respectful, and dependable."

— Biby, Caregiver | DSP

CAREGIVER · DIRECT SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL

"The best part of this work is knowing that the little things matter. A familiar face, a calm voice, a meal prepared the way someone likes it, those moments build trust. At THHS, I'm encouraged to slow down, listen, and care for each person as an individual."

— Karen, Lead Nurse & Behavioral Health Clinician

NURSING · BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

"I came up in the DDD community long before THHS existed, so when I build a schedule or sit down with a DSP, I'm speaking their language, I know exactly what that job asks of you, day to day. That's what lets me relate to our whole team, DSPs and nurses alike, not just manage them. Bringing my college friend Karen on board as our lead nurse and behavioral health clinician was one of the best calls I've made, she brings the same ground-level understanding to clinical care that I bring to scheduling."

— Ada, Co-Founder
