Natalie, who prefers to be known as "Natty," has lived in an Albertina Kerr neighborhood group home in Eugene for more than 10 years. She had not walked in many years but recently demonstrated that she was ready to try again. With staff standing by, Natty is now walking from her room to the dining table or anywhere else she wants to go. The supportive staff have helped empower her to make this transition as well as establishing contact with lost friends and family - to whom she now sends cards and letters to each month. Albertina Kerr's neighborhood-based group homes like the one where Natty lives help provide an enriched environment that supports each individual as they realize their full potential.
