Success Stories

Neighbors Helping Neighbors

ADANC is working with a consumer who has limited mobility. Our staff reached out to From Your Neighbor, a charity organization that connects neighbors to neighbors by providing recycled, donated medical equipment for people in need at little to no cost. They provided a ramp to our consumer and were willing to transport and install the ramp.

Now the consumer can independently go to a local convenient store, the grocery store, and most importantly, visit friends. The consumer stated this has given him freedom. He loves being able to get out on his own and be a part of his community.

Back@Home

A consumer who started working with our agency in June of this year secured housing in Johnston County. The Information and Referral Services Manager referred them to the Back@Home program. They used this program to secure a deposit and the first month’s rent. They have also been approved for Medicaid and Social Security Disability benefits. They are excited to be able to have a place of their own.
