From a former resident:
“I was at EIKOS for 3 years. We ate wonderful food communally and all got along. It was an amazing experience after years of suffering. The groups that I went to were really mind expanding. It felt like a true extended family.”
From a mother:
“We have marveled at EIKOS’s treatment of the holidays. The festive decorations and wonderful meals make the Commonwealth Avenue house a warm and inclusive home for the residents. Knowing that our son is loved and appreciated is invaluable to us. Thank you!”
From a father:
“Our son lived at Eikos for seven years, and we visited him weekly. Eikos truly was like a family for him. Since his first days at Eikos, he always said how much he appreciated being there. The staff was friendly, non-judgmental, inclusive, and supportive, which fosters a relaxed and healing environment for the residents.”
From another family member:
“EIKOS is where wellness and humanity live. From the beginning, the staff and Director at EIKOS treated my brother with respect and dignity. They have been with him every step of the way in his recovery, encouraging his creativity, and independence. EIKOS is my brother’s family and home. I am forever grateful for Barbara and the other staff at EIKOS for the value they place on the health, wellness, and recovery of all of their residents. A rare gem in residential care!”
From the mother of a recent EIKOS graduate:
“If not for EIKOS, I am not sure where my son would be today. Today, he is his own man, working, thriving and a full participant with agency in his own life. At EIKOS he learned to manage his challenges / differences, to love and live his life. EIKOS is very practical — medication management, counseling etc. — but also a spiritual and a community-based program. It is a real family! There are very few programs like EIKOS. I know, as I did exhaustive research for many years and my son bounced from one place to another, all ridiculously expensive and offering no long- or short-term solutions. EIKOS is a treasure in this space, servicing people who are managing their illness. They do it with love and grace. I hope you will visit EIKOS, and I know you will LOVE it.”
