The beach holds a special place in Joe’s heart. He visits his mom and stepdad, Patti and Ken, in South Carolina; his dad and stepmom, Rick and Pat, live on the Delaware shores.
Also in South Carolina, Patrick played bocce on the beach, showed off his signature Pat Putts on the golf course, and flexed his muscles at family trivia.
Seeing the whole family is great because they care for and love me.

Karen’s Spontaneous Events in Reston
Reston is full of local events if you look closely enough. Karen Adams (center) is sharp when finding local events.
“When Karen takes us out for events, I feel good that I’m being independent.”
-Rich, Gabriel Homes Resident
When the residents aren’t traveling, they’re celebrating their independence at home. On July 4, program coordinators Naomi Pariona (first picture, left) and Daniel Borges (first picture, right) planned an Independence Day extravaganza.
