Services include: 24 hours shelter, a semi-private room and bathroom, 3 nutritious meals a day, free on site laundry facilities, transportation assistance for appointments and therapy.

Admission criteria; clients must be ambulatory and selfcare with respect to feeding dressing, toileting and showering. Patients must also be free of alcohol and street drug use. For more information contact Paul Uruske 414-265- 6360
