Review for Unheard Voices U S A, Bluefield, WV, USA
Mother of Christ Julinoel has accepted me into their facility and they are friendly. They make sure that I know the schedule, they introduce me to the staff. They have activities most of the day from 10am to 3pm. When it is time for meals, they come around and remind us that it is time to eat. When I feel sad or homesick, the staff do their best to help me through it.
Recently, I was very ill. I had a stomach virus and my body functions were out of my control. I was ashamed and embarrassed, but Jennifer, a CNA, came in to take care of me after I pulled the call light switch. She reassured me when she was cleaning me up, as I had never been sick like that before. At a very embarrassing time and at my worst, she helped me clean myself up. She left my door open so she could hear me down the hall if I needed anything, and she came in and kept on checking on me.
I am glad that Jennifer was there for me. She helped me out in that situation, and I am so grateful to her. She is my hero.
At Mother of Christ Julinoel, the staff are sweet and cheerful. I suffer from depression, also. When the staff notices I am not myself, they go out of their way to do things to help me. They sit and talk and listen to me. Then they help me find a course of action to take. I have been through several hard times since I have been at Mother of Christ Julinoel, but I know these people care deeply and have the clients at the top of the list of priorities.
Mother of Christ Julinoel advocates for me with doctors, helping me in my journey of recovery from mental illness. It doesn't just happen overnight that you are "all better", and sometimes I relapse back into the behaviors of the illness. They keep me "grounded", helping to keep me focused on steps I should be taking to get well. Even though there are about sixty other people here, they make me feel like I am the only person in the facility.
I am glad that the staff and administration are so meticulous to detail and help you before things become extreme and very difficult to "fix" and make it right. I would not want to live anywhere else. Mother of Christ Julinoel is my home.
I love you, staff and administration of Mother of Christ Julinoel
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
advocating for the help I need so I don't get too stressed out and overwhelmed. Getting the disability paperwork going for me and talking to the disability folks on the telephone. I have anxiety and I find it hard to talk to authority figures.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
give them a greenhouse and hydroponic agriculture so that all residents are able to participate in growing their own food. Father Joseph Ekweariri is keenly tuned to the needs of the residents and is truly dedicated to make things happen for the facility.
