Night to Shine

Aint this the truth!

They say it is easy. They say it is low skilled. Right. Because:

It takes no skill at all to de-escalate fear with calm.
No skill to understand someone without words.
No skill to turn a bad day into safety and laughter.

Funny how the hardest skills are the ones that don’t fit neatly on a resume.

Support work is invisible until it’s not done, until someone isn’t listened to, isn’t understood, isn’t safe. Then the world notices.

Direct support professionals do the quiet work that holds everything together.

And that’s not “easy.” That’s essential.

Happy Halloween from all of us at The Rutledge Crew! 🎃👻

We had a spooktacular costume contest today, and the competition was fierce! We want to give a huge congratulations to our "Best Dressed" winners: Wednesday Addams (who was wonderfully gloomy!) and Darth Vader (the force was strong with this one!).

Everyone looked amazing! We hope you all have a safe, fun, and fab-boo-lous day!

Our Halloween party was a monstrous success! 🎃

The fun was non-stop today! We had a thrilling Cake Walk (congrats to all the winners!), some brave Karaoke superstars 🎤, a hilarious and high-stakes game of Musical Chairs 🪑, and of course, a ton of dancing to our favorite spooky tunes!

The energy was amazing, and it was the perfect way to celebrate. What a blast!
