"There is always a supervisor at the homes during the day. There were no major concerns. Some of the staff got the agency LSW and the child's person counselor confused. They all spoke of the changes that Legacy has made and all of the training they have."
"When asked what he liked about the agency, one of the youth stated, “How encouraging and caring they are…actually feels safe. Even though it is not home, it is a part of home. It’s somewhere I want to be.” He said that they feel like they're at home. This was repeated by multiple youth ."
