Safe Harbor also offers a Respite Care Program that provides a temporary alternative living situation to assist individual caregivers by temporarily freeing them of the responsibility of care for an adult with mental illness.
“Safe Harbor had its own crisis in 2022 when we found that the building needed serious repairs,” said Jones. “After many months of long days, hard work, and a dedicated and compassionate community we finally opened with a Ribbon Cutting ceremony on March 16th, where numerous local businesses, churches, the dedicated staff at GCLH and community groups were acknowledged for their generosity and support.”
