What Our Guests are Saying about Steps in the Right Direction
Deb M.
I love this place! I loved it so much I stayed for 4 years. I am thankful this place gave me my life back. I still go over and visit. It is nice to get to know the new girls and spend time with them. It is so hard to find a place that’s like your home. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for this beautiful place. Thank you!

Steps in the Right Direction it worked for me and it’ll work for you. It’s a safe comfortable homey environment with the owner Linda and amazing staff that will bend over backwards for you and work one on one with you. I lived there for 12 years with my dog Frankie in one of the cutest bedrooms. I learned so much, met so many great people, made a lot of good friends, and went places I had never been before. I had fun just staying at home in our backyard swimming or having a Barbecue. I could never give back what they’ve given me – my life, laughter, happiness, peace of mind, and love.

My stay there was more than what I expected. I was given an opportunity to learn and grow in a safe place I was able to call home. The staff always went above and beyond. I will be forever grateful for the time I spent at a Step In The Right Direction.
