Paul has been at New Hope for 28+ years and 20+ years in an apartment on his own. He realizes he is one of the most independent clients here. He is quiet and composed, with a smile that lights up his eyes.

What he enjoys most about New Hope, he says, are “all the different jobs, and staying busy. I like having a job to come to.” Paul also enjoys group activities such as classes, going to restaurants and other outings in the community. “I like learning things, like cooking, computer, and things to do in Louisville,” he says.

Twice a month a group goes to Louisville on an outing. He said they have visited places like the Frazier History Museum, art galleries, the Kentucky Science Center, and the Louisville Zoo.
