We have just been blown away with Rosewood. I NEVER thought these opportunities would be avaliable to (our daughter). Since things have gotten harder the past couple years I knew we needed to find a safe home for her that was knowledgeable, is PWS, and thought out-of-state was our only option. We were worried for her and for us as a family. You have given us hope that she will live a happy life and I will be more of a mother to her than a caregiver.
