Testimonials

Dear Mali Rice & Staff,
“Rice Adult Care has been a gift to our family and, most importantly, to the person we care for, who is on the autism spectrum. The program is thoughtfully structured, full of meaningful activities, and the frequent community outings have boosted confidence and joy in ways we can feel at home. Our person wakes up eager to go—every single time—which tells you everything you need to know about the warmth, safety, and genuine respect they receive from the staff. Communication is clear, the environment is consistent and caring, and we’ve seen real growth in social skills and independence. We’re deeply grateful for Rice Adult Care and recommend them without hesitation.”
Melvin Lowe, Jr.
It is my pleasure to write this review for Rice Adult Care. For nearly six years, my godson, Zachary, has attended their program, and I have consistently been impressed with the exceptional level of care and dedication they provide to individuals with special needs.
The staff at Rice Adult Care go above and beyond to ensure that every individual feels safe, respected, and supported. They provide engaging and meaningful daily activities that promote personal growth and social interaction. I especially appreciate the care they take during community outings — ensuring that participants are not only safe but also included in enriching, real-world experiences.
Over the years, I have witnessed firsthand the positive impact this program has had on Zachary’s confidence, communication, and overall well-being. The compassionate and professional team at Rice Adult Care treat each participant with patience, kindness, and genuine respect.
I wholeheartedly recommend Rice Adult Care to any family seeking reliable, nurturing, and high-quality daytime care for individuals with special needs. Their commitment to excellence and the well-being of those they serve is truly commendable.
Sincerely,
Cookie and Trevin

Rice Adult Center
The outstanding care and quality of Rice Adult Center is remarkable. They give a family dynamic. When I came to ‘Rice “ I was a little skeptical because I knew my son had some behavioral issues. The redirecting of the behavior, staying on task with the parents, insurance of positive behaviors, and over all willingness for his improvement on a lifetime basis made me a team player. The environment is nurturing and safe. The staff is so warm, caring, and hardworking. He enjoys going, and looks forward to being there everyday.
