Milestone HCQU West's 'Commonly Prescribed Medications' course is really helpful. With this training I understand the importance of observing individuals before and after a medication has been administered.

My sister absolutely loves attending the Yough Adventure Program. She learns so much about nature, showcases her abilities and has made new friends.

I’m on a limited income, but I make it a priority to give to Milestone every month. My son is doing so well there. I’ll do whatever I can to support the organization.

Milestone has made a difference in my life.

The home study training courses offered by Milestone HCQU Northwest are a lifesaver for me! They are interesting and informative and most importantly, convenient to my schedule. I even share the home study courses with my staff, who are required to complete 12 hours of annual training. The topics are relevant to our issues and we have used the information in the day-to-day care of our residents.

Milestone has opened a whole new world for my niece. She has come out of her shell; she’s happier and she has her own life.

I want to thank Milestone HCQU West for the great trainings they provide for our individuals here at The ARC of Mercer County! We love HCQU West and are all excited about the pedometers that they gave us today! We appreciate it!

I am writing in regard to Amy Simon (Milestone HCQU West) and her trainings. She is absolutely awesome! I learned so much from her. I loved how she interacted with the individuals, staff and myself. Amy never talked above anyone and was so matter of fact. Amy was always kind, hands-on and asked the individual for permission to complete things. I cannot say enough about how positive Amy is and how well she teaches. I am so glad I was able to meet Amy. So many times with what we do, we only hear the bad that we do!!! Amy is just wonderful!!!
