Called just not understanding the program or what assistance they offer and front desk was rude and unprofessional. Just was looking up information and not what I need but no need to be silly.

Did not see much. Just the reception area. Very clean the receptionist was friendly and got who i needed to see and Patrick was great very helpful and seemed like full of energy. Limited review but I am sure the rest is wonderful too. Please have some one call me or contact me.

This is absolutely stupid ridiculous and absurd one of their tenants has been stealing and harassing me I called to make a complaint I was immediately pushed aside by a very very rude a front desk person then once I talk to the director Maurice she wasn't there she left a voicemail I returned it no answer I finally got a hold of Maurice I told her about the issue harassment thievery the police are involved Herman concerned with whether or not she got the voicemail or not as a matter of fact she spent 15 minutes of this conversation questioning whether or not I see you left me a voicemail I asked her what's more important the voicemail or the fact that her tenants are stealing she was still on the voicemail this is ridiculous

What a wonderful experience visiting a beautiful facility with an amazing staff who deeply care about those they serve and prioritize visitor safety. I was truly impressed by the commitment to excellence during my visit with Todd G.

I genuinely do not believe there are adequate words to describe this organization, or the value it is serving to the community and to the Souls and Well-being of individuals and families. After getting into an unfortunate situation, it was recommended to reach out to this organization for guidance and assistance. From the moment I engaged with the caseworker, I not only felt cared for, but I truly felt as though only my best interest was at the heart and minds of those involved. I will not notes specific names (for privacy); however, I can genuinely say that I would not be in this “better place (mind, body, and spirit)” included, had I not reached out to this organization. I genuinely pray the Father bless each person working here, and continue to provide the means and resources needed so Doorways can more than adequately take care it’s staff and those they so genuinely try to assist along the way. Thank you so much!,… I am humbled, grateful, and truly appreciative for the love, care, compassion, and consideration. Blessings and Thanks !
