National Alliance for the Mentally Ill of Santa Cruz County

presents

Ann and Peggy Butler and their Staff

20 years ago Peggy Butler opened a six bed board and care adult residential home for the mentally ill in San Jose. Today, with her daughter Ann, they own and operate Front Street, Opal Cliff, Willow Brook, Darwin House and 7th Avenue.

7th Avenue was purchased by Front Street Inc. (their business name) in 1992 but the previous out-of-area owner held a lease until the winter of 1999. As soon as the Butler's took responsibility for the facility they began to make positive changes. The challenges are overwhelming, the building is antiquated and inappropriate for its current use, but Ann Butler is determined to make the necessary improvements to ensure our family members receive the most humane and compassionate care possible. Soon to receive a FHA loan for the facility, Ann can tell us about the extensive remodel for the near future and what it will mean now that 7th Avenue has been recently changed from a skilled nursing facility to a Mental Health Rehabilitation Center.

Come meet the Butlers and their staff Richard Nanas and Kathy Champlin. Bring your questions and concerns to our on-going NAMI-SCC lecture series and membership meetings.
