"Returning to my nest at the LEE after a day out, always gives me that contented feeling everytime returning. To have my needs met, privacy or talking with friends, spiritual (from local church), meals, transportation, walks on our paths and gardens, parties, music, library. After leaving the LEE for a time to be with my family, I now am “home again” (11years) at the LEE Center. Also helpful is lady who coordinates resources for us."
– Jean Walters, current LEE Center of Hibbing resident
