Recent Experiences
Synapse has been providing supported living services for my daughter for two years now. The staff who come to help her are reliable and respectful of her independence. They helped her learn to cook simple meals, manage her schedule, and use transit. There was some initial staff turnover, but the current team has been consistent. She is thriving in her apartment.
