Great Miami Services
Mary had been in a state psychiatric
hospital for five years when she came to Great Miami Services. She had not succeeded in being out of psychiatric care for more than 24 hours. With the help of Great Miami Services, she is more successful than she has ever been. The nurses there had to retrain her on several daily living activities that many people take for granted. When she had a bad day at GMS, she would sit in a chair and watch the birds out the window, and it would comfort her. When she was rehabilitated and able to leave, the staff offered her the chair because it meant so much to her. She refused, and told them she wanted the chair to do as much good for someone else as it did for her.
