I cannot express enough appreciation for the difference a day at Paul’s Club meant for my husband. He was not able to share with me what was done, but he always was calm and slept better on the days he attended.

Having 3 full days a week gave me the opportunity to have some life of my own. I had time to do the organizing that was needed for each and both of us. Plus a day that was just for me.
