“Here is a pic of a customer after cooking the Oatmeal muffins which were enjoyed by all (in our house). It was also great skill development for her to do the cooking. I can see that the recipes have broadened the customer’s horizons for healthy food and they get excited about trying new things.”

“Able is a great source of information for things you can do with your clients. Even if it’s the last five minutes before you walk out the door. I just love it. I personally do the exercises in the morning. I’ve been looking for a resource like Able for years.”

“Exercising with Mick (tenant) encouraged Tash (Mick’s housemate) to join in, doing it together meant that we were all working together – it’s been great!”

“There has been a clear difference in the residents being settled in the evenings after exercise, and better sleeping. Didn’t have to fill out any ‘ABC’s this week (A Behavioural Chart) for any of the participants.”

“Cooking has become a regular Saturday afternoon thing for Dylan. Though it’s not necessarily an Able recipe each week, Able has helped create a healthy routine.”
