Episode #128: Open Book with Riley's Residence

In this episode of Open Book, we hear from Michelle Short, founder of the non-profit Riley's Residence, a center that will offer comprehensive therapies including physical, occupational, speech, and aquatic therapies; and amenities like a theater for family movie nights, which doubles as a worship space on Sundays, and a salon for personal care. Employment opportunities within the facility will be available for those who are capable, promoting independence and dignity. Moreover, we aim to improve conditions for caregivers by offering competitive wages, onsite daycare for their children, better work environments, and educational opportunities, including internships for aspiring special education professionals. Our vision is to foster a community where everyone is valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.
