How it works

If you "Live-in", life is like that of a family.

Instead of going out to work, the work is done here.  Everyone has a list of jobs which they are responsible for.  Each one has a laundry day.  All have kitchen chores.  All help with the cleaning, gardening, and outside work.

The rules of the house are summed up this way:  A list of house rules is given to each person who comes to live here.  Each person is to go by these rules and do as they are told.

There is no smoking allowed on the property, inside or outside.  No alcoholic drinks, and no drugs unless they are doctor prescribed.  No individual radios, TV's or music boxes.  Music is a vial part of this program, and Christian and Classical selections are played throughout the day.

The daily schedule is very busy.  This in itself is part of the therapy of this program.  Being up, bed made by 8:00am, starts the day.  Bedtime, after night devotions, is at 11:00pm.

Our relaxation is dictated by the weather.  It could be outside (fishing, volleyball, basketball) or inside (playing scrabble, checkers, or aggravation).
