Victoria Wilson
Direct Support Professional
Edwards is dependent on the fantastic DSPs that support our 20 homes and many residents! Victoria is a wonderful example of a dedicated DSP working at Pheasant House.

When we asked Victoria about her work, she said, "I am a DSP because I wanted a career where I could come to work happy and leave work happy. I also wanted a career where I feel like I have a purpose in life; that I made a difference. This is a career, not just a job."
The team at Pheasant House works tirelessly to keep its residents active and engaged. "Outings are my absolute favorite, just seeing the joy on their faces, helping people increase their independence, pushing them to get out of their comfort zone. That's my favorite thing because I see what they can accomplish; they feel proud of themselves, and I think, 'You should feel proud of yourself. You are very capable.'
"I stay here because I am learning every day. I am growing as a person," said Victoria.
We appreciate the dedication of Victoria, all our DSPs, House Managers, and Members of the Edwards Team who supply the critical care and love to our many residents.
