Meet Eric. He lives independently to pay his own bills. He is dependable, responsible, and dedicated to his job. As a member of Pine Castle's Self Advocacy Group and Trinity Baptist Church, Eric plays an active part in his community. Eric has participated in the Pine Castle Adult Day Training Program for more than five years and was recently honored as the RESPECT employee of the year for products. Many adults who participate in Pine Castle's Adult Day Training Program live alone, like Eric. Whether they live independently or not, many individuals with developmental or aquired disabilities lack access to health services focused on their unique needs. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2008, Eric now monitors his own glucose levels and diet, thanks to a grant from Baptist Health and the encouragement of the nurse at Pine Castle. The Baptist Health grant helped establish the on-site wellness clinic that provides free physical wellness assessments and provides medical management for Eric and other participants in Pine Castle's Adult Day Training Program.
