Our Group Home

Malibu, CA

Our residential facility is a level 4G home to 6 adults, all with the primary diagnosis of autism. Our residents have been with us for over 25 years. We provide them with a living situation as a part of a family, and a family that is a part of a community. Our programs goals are to promote independence, and stability for our residents in the areas of daily living, self-help skills, meal preparation, laundry, housecleaning, hygiene, money management, and social interactions. Our residents work together as a team, in a family environment. Our clients learn to manage their environment, to make personal choices in areas that affect their daily living, and to self advocate for themselves. They learn that along with self advocacy comes the responsibility of realizing the affect of their decisions upon others.
