There are heroes among us
You may know them. They are members of the Accra family — our clients and their caregivers.
“I don’t even want to think about what it was like before Accra. I needed somebody I could trust, and a team behind me... I don’t know what to say other than they have been a savior for me. I’m grateful and I’m really blessed to work with them."
Barbara
245D Responsible Party
"I am so thankful for what Accra does for us. We set up a care plan together and figure out what a PCA could do to help benefit Hunter’s life. It really is a personal care assistant, and Accra helps tailor that for each person. Accra has just been a huge blessing."

“Thanks to Accra and the work of my ARMHS worker, I’ve maintained my housing, I’ve maintained my stability, they care about me getting the services I need and the help I need to succeed. I feel like if I’ve ever had a problem, Accra has always been there for me to solve it. I’m very fortunate that I had the opportunity to turn my life around like this."
