I faced a housing issue with NYCHA and requested a transfer to a different residence. The support I received was exceptional, guiding my move from a studio to a one-bedroom apartment and from the third floor to the first floor. The team, which included ASL fluent staff, efficiently coordinated with moving services, ensuring a seamless process. I am truly grateful for their fantastic support

I required assistance in setting up a Pooled Trust to qualify for Medicaid. The ASL fluent staff guided me through this complex process, and as a result, I now receive home care services with an ASL fluent caregiver. Additionally, I can participate in an Adult Day Care Program that is ASL friendly. Grateful for their invaluable support.

Due to my health issues, I spent an extended period in the hospital, and upon returning home, I found myself falling behind on rent. The situation was incredibly overwhelming and caused immense stress as I struggled to readjust to my normal daily routine. Thankfully, an agency that has ASL fluent staff, came to my aid, providing much-needed assistance in catching up with rent payments. They also helped me restructure my budget, assigning me a dedicated case manager and connecting me with mental health services staff who were fluent in American Sign Language (ASL). Thanks to their support, my life has finally regained a sense of control.

Upon immigrating to the United States from Russia, I faced the challenge of not being fluent in English or American Sign Language. However, thanks to the assistance of the agency, I was able to secure a job as a caregiver, working with deaf and Deafblind clients. Not only did this opportunity allow me to become fluent in both English and American Sign Language, but it also provided me with professional growth in the healthcare field. For over 8 years now, I have been dedicated to my job and find immense joy in providing services to the deaf community. I owe my success to the ASL fluent supervisors and trainers who have mentored me throughout the years.

I am a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) and I work full time. I was in dire need of an ASL fluent caregiver for my mother, who was suffering from dementia. The ASL fluent case worker not only assisted in getting my mom qualified for Medicaid’s managed long term care plan but also efficiently coordinated all the necessary homecare services. The ASL fluent staff was absolutely incredible, and it brought me immense peace of mind knowing that my mother was being well taken care of without any communication barriers. I am sincerely grateful for their exceptional support. Thank you!
