Miller House: The best of the three houses.
Our Activities
Residents at Miller House really enjoy being active. We go bowling. Every few months we host a concert for the other houses to come and enjoy with us. We like to go out to eat, walking, and strolling down to visit with the folks at Lindley and Pinel. A couple of our residents are very artistic and make beautiful paintings. One of our residents is very into being green and is leading the house in our recycling efforts.

Recent Events:
We are just returning from another fun week at Camp Low Echo located at Lake of the Woods. The clients at ASH have been enjoying this annual week-long camping tradition for more than 20 years now! Camp Low Echo is run by Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington; we rent the camp for one beautiful week each year and support our clients that choose to come. There is a main lodge and dining hall, several cabins with electricity and running water available for clients to stay in, a private dock with pedal boats and canoes, we rent a patio boat from the Lake of Woods Marina and have the most beautiful view of Mt. Pitt (aka Mt. McLaughlin). It is a lot of work but worth every bit of it to see smiling, happy campers out in the woods, doing arts and crafts projects in the dining hall or standing up out of a wheel chair to get into a boat!
Residents from Lindley, Miller and Pinel houses, as well as our Community Outreach client enjoyed our annual Memorial day trip to Wild Life Images and a picnic lunch after the tour.
Miller House hosted a performance by Donny Roze on Saturday, May 15, 2010.
The Miller House manager made the following statements:
On working for ASH...
"I became a manager here because the job opened and I was already familiar with the residents. I love caring for these folks; serving, supporting, and advocating for this population is something fulfilling."
For prospective employees...
"When I am hiring, I look for someone that shows initiative and selflessness; someone who is not afraid of hard work, enjoys community activities, and is a social and caring individual."
