Listen Now:

In our first episode, we hear from Access 2 Independence Director Kirk Holcombe about A2I’s work transitioning people out of nursing homes so that they can live independently and on their own terms. Not only does this program restore autonomy and dignity to the people transitioning, but getting more people out of nursing homes actually saves the state money in the long run.

We will also hear from Donna Greene about how A2I provided her with a ramp so that she could safely get in and out of her home. And former A2I employee Rashad Jones with a vision impairment, who became an A2I consumer when he needed help relocating to the West Coast for a new job. Music provided by BenSound.com.

Thank you to Access 2 Independence and consumers Donna and Rashad for sharing your stories! Many more stories to come from our other CILs!
