The Bridge Center 3

Send us Fan MailJo Jo is settling into The Bridge Center, but something isn’t right. He hesitates before getting on the van, comes home tense, and even has a small unexplained bruise. His mother, Rosa, senses something is wrong—and she’s right. A newly hired staff member, Jamie Peterson, lacks the experience and training needed to work with individuals with disabilities, and it’s affecting Jo Jo and others at the center. In this episode, we explore the underfunded and underregulated world of adult day programs, why so many operate with underqualified staff and high turnover, and what caregivers can do to hold programs accountable.Because finding the right program isn’t just about getting in—it’s about making sure it’s safe, supportive, and truly the right fit.
