TESTIMONIALS
Advo Companies, Inc. has a very special place in our hearts. It has provided our
daughter a place to live and work that we could not provide in our small community.
She has become a very productive individual in the workforce and a very
independent person. The Advo staff, employees and clients are a part of our family.
I entrust them with the welfare of my “special” child because I know they will do
their best to ensure her safety and continuous well-being.
Bob & Pat White, Parents
An answer to prayer sounds so cliché but that is
exactly what Advo is for our family. Because of
Advo, our son Tate is more independent, lives in his
own home with three of his friends and has a job in
the community. These were things prayed for and
dreamed of for many years and now they are a
reality. For us, Advo is where “Our Dream
Continues.”
Jeanne & Terry Prescott, Parents
There is such a peace of mind having Sam & Mark at
Advo. The benefits are enormous, from Advo loving
them, to meeting their needs in every way.
Coy Graves, Aunt
Justin has thrived at Advo. He is Happy! To quote him, “It’s pretty awesome”. So
there you have it, the secret is out. Advo is Justin’s family! They take care of him,
help him to continue learning, encourage him to be part of the community, and
makes sure that he participates in life to the fullest. Whether you are family
wanting placement, a corporation looking to donate money, I promise you will not
regret choosing Advo. Their focus is on the consumers. Advo is not just an
organization who provides services, they are a body of people who are serving a
population of people with respect, dignity, and love.
Stacey Levitt, Parent
When P.J. moved into a home with Advo, Dell & I had
a hard time adjusting at first. But P.J. loves her new
home and family. Advo really is an extension of our
family. Between her job and social life she doesn’t
have much time for us. Sounds like a typical young
adult, right? Makes my heart happy.
Dell & Mary Ford, Parents
