My brother has been staying at the Victoria Hills house for a few months and it has been a blessing. My brother requires extra assistance and the head of house assistant manager, Carlos, goes out of his way to help my brother regularly. He is teaching my brother how to cook and meal prep so he doesn't have to eat frozen food. Carlos makes sure my brother understands the rules and even keeps me informed so I can assist my brother and make sure he has everything he needs. Daily, he teaches my brother how to live a structured life and makes sure he feels included. My brother has been in other sober living homes and the experience wasn't great for him. I was nervous for him to start over, but Carlos goes above and beyond. I feel at ease knowing my brother is receiving great support. In addition to having great support, the house itself is beautiful and has many amenities available to him. Thank you Carlos and Elmer Day for being there for my brother, I am forever grateful. read more
