My loved-one has been at Desire to Live for 7 years now. Ms. Butler has provided excellent and dependable care. Her experience and expertise in working with those with special needs far exceeds any other facility, whether it be nursing home or memory care facility, in our experience. Most facilities did not understand the disease nor did they understand how to reshape behaviors, positively.

I know the owner of this place whom have been a great member of the community helping those in need. Men and women from all over have been helped by Wanda Butler. She is kind and helps those less fortunate get on their feet. She will help anyone and does not pass judgement towards anyone. I know personally how she has changed the lives of those addicted to drugs, mental health problems, homeless and unemployed. Having a member like this in my community makes me proud to be apart of her organization spreading love and joy to those in the community. Thank you Desire to Live for helping those who are unable to help themselves. Keep up the good work!!!!!!
