Beyond the Front Door

Responsibility doesn’t end at our facilities.

Our team engages with the Prader-Willi California Foundation community, collaborates closely with Central Valley Regional Center and the California Department of Social Services, and welcomes Disability Rights California into our homes for ongoing education and dialogue. These relationships deepen our understanding, reinforce transparency, and strengthen the support provided inside each home.
