Mike Harris and his wife deliberately moved their daughter Linda from their home to a residential facility "almost 20 years ago, while we were relatively young." The transition was nearly seamless. Now that Mr. Harris and his wife are approaching 80, they are making another planned transition, introducing Linda to her Personal Advocate from By Their Side.

It gives Linda a chance to know them, and it gives them a chance to know Linda while we're still around to take care of any problems. Hopefully this transition will be just as seamless. I'm sure that by the time we die, they'll be thick as thieves."
