LOL - Life of Liberty, Inc. — Local services in Oceanside

For the past year and a half I’ve had the wonderful opportunity of witnessing the positive impact this company has on our community. I didn’t know such a program existed that supports disabled adults to become all they can possibly be. I’ve watched participants gain knowledge and skills that help them interact with others, as well as find a purpose in their everyday lives. In this unique program, adults with disabilities are given the opportunity to set goals for themselves academically, physically and socially.

It's just so wonderful. What a blessing to have been introduced to this place. Five stars...

Life of Liberty has a very high turnover of staff, and unfortunately, both employees and clients are not treated well. The CEO seems more focused on self-promotion than on fostering a respectful or supportive environment.

I personally resigned in July 2025, yet my status was incorrectly listed as “terminated.” Around that same time, another staff member was fired, but their record was changed to “voluntary quit,” preventing them from accessing unemployment benefits.

In my experience, this reflects a pattern of dishonesty and questionable practices. I would strongly caution both potential employees and clients to do their research before engaging with this...
