Family & Client Testimonials
"It is with my warmest regards and feelings that I
describe what Serra Center has meant to me and my
family. It has given us a peace of mind to know
that the care given is dedicated and caring for the good
of the clients. As a former Treasurer and Board
member of Serra Center, I can attest the activities and
programs provided have enriched my daughter for 30
years. The financial support it has gives us
comfort that it is a stable and continuing operation.
The Regional Center of the East Bay, a State Agency, has
often shown the housing facilities as examples of good
living conditions. Our family is pleased that this
non-profit organization has been so highly accepted by
the City of Fremont and by the residents of its
communities.
~Daniel C. Pope, Parent
"Ed’s sister Karen has been at
Serra Center for many years. She is in a loving family
environment and when she speaks of her caretakers, it is
with great affection. In all our visits to see her and
her surroundings, we have been impressed with the
complete care given to her. This includes thoroughness,
cleanliness, compassion, encouragement and the
development of her identity and self-worth. We are
grateful to see her progress."
~Ed and Linda Blackburn, Family Members
"I enjoy Serra Center services. I’m pleased
there is a place where special people can go and receive
help. I’ve been with Serra Center for 4 years now
and appreciate learning how to write checks."
~Les, Serra Center Client
"I like living on my own and I do a lot on my own
with everybody’s help – like getting my medicine,
finding a job, learning money and how to make a check.
I appreciate my Instructor teaching me how to get the
right foods. I am proud of my life because of
Serra Center."
~Michelle, Serra Center Client
"I am so happy for the day I
decided that Eleanor, my sister, should begin to live
independently. Serra Center has been a wonderful
organization in helping my sister to fulfill this way of
living. I believe that everyone at the Center is so
wonderful and is always very helpful. Ellie’s trainer
is wonderful. He goes over the top with his services.
I have never had a worker or trainer for Ellie that
would actually dye her hair!
He is always there for her. He carefully plans
out everything for her and keeps on top of everything.
I appreciate everyone at Serra Center and look forward
to a long relationship with them. I fully
recommend them to anyone."
~Shirley Gordon, Family Member

~John, ILS Client

Serra Center."
