Zion Compassion Care closed the Mesa center on Friday, giving families a week's notice.
MESA, Ariz. — At least 30 people with developmental disabilities are out of their state-funded jobs after the center that provided them with employment and therapy closed on Friday., its website says the facility's work improves “members’ abilities to achieve independence and quality of life” for individuals who are disabled or have special needs.
Since then, Sloan has been her son’s primary caregiver and legal guardian. Howard is now 27 and thriving. “He loved it there,” Sloan said. “My son has a girlfriend he met at this program. So, it was very upsetting to get the short notice it was closing. They said they were shutting the program because they didn’t have the lease on the building anymore.”
Sloan said her son wants to apply to do custodial work at his nearby school, but worries that other participants don’t have enough help to find new work and therapy placements.
