"I now we continue to send these Shout Outs about Marty at Stone Run, but he truly needs to be recognized. Marty goes above and beyond EVERY DAY when he cares for our son Tommo. I could create a long list of what he does, but here are the highlights: Sending photos and videos to us and to Tommo's extended family so they can stay in touch with him and know how he spends his days, Calling us when Tommo asks for Mommy of Daddy, Ensuring he gets physical activity outdoors even in the rain and Tommo loves it!, Coming up with the idea to offer Tommo warm milk at night to help him settle to sleep.....and the list could go on... We just can't thank Marty enough for his thoughtfulness, kindness and creativity in caring for our son. We are grateful beyond words. - Russ and Karen"

"Our Josh is back! We were worried about him last week after our visit. The pulled tooth had him down and out last week, but today he was great! He enjoyed all the food that we brought. And was in an excellent mood. Thank you for taking such good care of him and nursing him back to his own self after the surgery. You guys are the best. And congratulations to Ebrima for stopping smoking. Great job! We are so grateful for all of you. Have a great rest of the weekend.  - All of our love, Rose and Darren"

Thank you for all that you do each and every day. We are so grateful.  - Sending all of our love, Rose and Darren"

"Hi guys, Thanks for a great visit with our Josh on Saturday. He looked great. Good luck at the oral surgeon tomorrow. Probably the worst part for Josh is when they give him the local shot to numb the tooth. Just tell him it’s going to be a little pinch and it might hurt a little. We really appreciate all that you do for Josh. If you think you need us tomorrow, just text us.  - Take care, all of our love, Rose and Darren"

"We just have to give Marty another Shout Out. When we picked up Tommo, Marty was willing to learn how to improve when he uses a toothbrush and floss with Tommo.

AND Thank You Marty....from Tommo!!! - Russ and Karen"

This is one of the most difficult tasks for Billy and the staff along with Paul's leadership and guidance resulted in a huge success on Monday March 7th, 2022!!! This bloodwork was really important due to his medical issues at this time. Both the staff at Quest Diagnostic and Paul, Nana, Napolean, and Godfrey were so very excited and proud of him! They took Billy for a treat and Paul called me with the wonderful news! Nana placed a medal around Billy's neck and he was smiling, he knew he did it! She also sent me photos showing Billy with his award and smiling! It made my day and my week! Thank you again for helping Billy with this very important task which is not something we all like to do! WELL DONE!!  With my sincere appreciation, Angela"

Her words mean more than she will ever know and we want to thank her for all her support. - Russ and Karen Raposa"

It is a very rare occasion to see Tommo watching TV and we were thrilled to be a part of it. Thanks so much Momar!" -Russ and Karen Raposa

The list of ways he has helped us goes on and on and on, but yesterday he took the time to have Tommo call us via FaceTime because it was Nana’s birthday dinner with just her daughters and she was beyond thrilled to see Tommo. In addition, when Tommo is with Cameron, he truly lights up. I know he considers Cameron to be more than just a support provider, he sees him as a friend. Cameron has a special way of understanding what Tommo is thinking and what he needs. I know he means the world to Tommo so all three of us want to say THANK YOU Cameron for all you do everyday!" -Russ and Karen Raposa

"2020 has been such a challenging year for so many. We can think of very few people who have overcome greater challenges during the world's ongoing COVID-19 crisis than the Amego professionals. During this season of Thanksgiving, we reflect on our many blessings and upon Amego in particular.

As the Northborough Day Hab has been gearing up under extraordinary circumstances, we rely heavily upon the expertise of Kevin, Jonathan, Chris, nurse Krystal, and their teams. They have proven not only their ability to teach but to capably tend to medical emergencies.

Both of our sons' homes were hit by COVID, and were bravely managed through the ordeals through well researched health leadership policies and careful planning and communication. Those impacted are now healthy and we have Jennifer C, Krystal and the staff of dedicated selfless nurses, Craig P, Paul M, Solomon N and Geraldine O to thank for your capable and selfless leadership.

The talented staff members of Amego homes also work in the Day Hab environment to provide as seamless an experience as possible for all clients. This year, their jobs have involved a greater deal of personal risk and self-sacrifice than we can imagine. We are beyond grateful to all of you.

The Meadow Brook House is adeptly managed by Stephen A. and features a talented staff of professionals, namely Stephen B, Stephen K, Judith A, Winnifred O, William “Abraham” H, and Connie Y. Thank you to this team for caring so deeply for your clients and their home.

The seasoned team of the Upton House is managed by Winnie A, whose staff includes Fred A, Louis A-M, Harry A., Paul K, Paul M, Kellen J, and James O. We have been impressed the members of this team, who prove repeatedly that every staff member knows the needs, preferences, habits and communication nuances of each individual in their care. From the heart, “Great job!”

Please accept our deepest gratitude for your care and expertise, as well as your open and frequent communication to families. To you and yours, have a happy, healthy Thanksgiving!" - Rob, Kathy, Sean and Joey Sutherland

We know how much work it is to be sure these things are getting done routinely and we are thrilled that his dentist gave him a glowing report this past Saturday! She was able to take x-rays and prove that he has NO CAVITIES. She also said she hopes that all the staff at his house are teaching the staff at the other houses because she was totally impressed...especially since they were in full control for several months during the pandemic this year.

We appreciate you Emanny!!!" -Karen and Russ Raposa

"Once again Ashley took the time to put himself in our son Tommo's shoes to think about how he would feel and what would he want if he was upset. Late last night when Tommo woke up from a sound sleep and he was crying tears, Ashley did not hesitate to ask him if he wanted to talk with Mom & Dad. When Ashley called us we were able to help Tommo settle down so he could go back to sleep. It was clear when Ashley recently went on vacation that Tommo missed his support buddy. It takes a special person to take care of someone who can't speak for themselves and Ashley is that special person!!!! Our family is blessed to have him in our lives and I know Tommo agrees!"  - Karen and Russ Raposa

As the visit time came to an end, staff explained that it was time to say goodbye and go back inside the house to see her schedule. Maya did not protest.

"To all the outstanding and amazing caregivers at Morse Street~~~~~~~~~

It is difficult to put into words how much you all mean to our entire family.
We know how challenging your work is. You are caring for individuals who can't express their needs and then feelings of gratitude and love for all that you do for them.
Your dedication and conscientious care of our daughter mean everything in the world to us. We wish that we could care for Mary on our own but as time went on we and other professionals realized that there was a better way. That meant finding a supportive, caring environment for Mary outside of our home. It was a difficult and challenging decision but discovering Amego and the staff that they select changed our lives. Because of all of you Mary continues to be a very happy person....we know this because....she looks forward to returning to her house after weekend visits (pre-COVID); she loves going to the ("school") Day Program; she loves her routine; and she loves ALL her caring staff. You are doing an amazing job and we will be forever grateful. We wish all good things for you and your families because you are guardian angels who are doing Gods work here on Earth.
Again you all mean the word to us and we love you." - John and Molly

He always has a smile on his face and is always positive. You would never know when Ashley is having a bad day. Thank you Ashley for all that you do. Amego is very lucky to have you." - Karen and Russ Raposa

Junior, you took over leadership at the Millis house and from my end, it seems like your calm, caring attention to all matters is winning out. You must know that Cole loves you and being around you.  Pa, I know that Cole is in good, strong hands with you and you keep me informed of the important matters about my son. You make us both laugh and bring joy every time, everywhere.  Sosa, you are there through thick and thin and that means a great deal to everybody.  I hope you let more of that laugh, and smile out cause it makes everybody feel good.
