While my daughter is experiencing many changes in her life right now and struggling to maintain some stability, I am thankful for the Milestone Work Activity Center, where she attends three days per week. It is the only constant in her life right now. I appreciate the understanding and flexibility they give to my daughter.

Milestone HCQU West's 'Commonly Prescribed Medications' course is really helpful. With this training I understand the importance of observing individuals before and after a medication has been administered.

- HCQU West Trainee, Loyalhanna, PA

Milestone HCQU West's 'Promoting Skin Integrity' course is very good. Everyone who takes care of people should take this course.

- Bobby, Mercer, PA

The home study training courses offered by Milestone HCQU Northwest are a lifesaver for me! They are interesting and informative and most importantly, convenient to my schedule. I even share the home study courses with my staff, who are required to complete 12 hours of annual training. The topics are relevant to our issues and we have used the information in the day-to-day care of our residents.

- Laura Mesoraco, Owner/Administrator, AM/PM Personal Care Home, Inc.

We are so thankful for Milestone’s Work Activity Center, and that our son gets to earn a paycheck with his friends.

My daughter has been at Milestone for nine years. She enjoys learning different jobs and she is very proud to bring home her paycheck and show everyone how hard she has worked.

Milestone treats me like an adult, the people here care about me.
