For decades, angel view's mission has been "helping children and adults with disabilities reach their maximum potential. "our clients have acquired head injuries, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, intellectual disabilities, neuromuscular deseases, and orthopedic disorders. Approximately 70% have some form of paralysis and require wheelchairs for ambulation. Because angel view exists, 100% of the coachella valley residents who need our services have them available without leaving the palm springs area; the only criterion is a qualifying disability. In 2015-2016, we will assist approximately 650 individuals with disabilites, 93% of whom are from the coachella vally, through three primary progrms: residential care, adult day program, and angel view outreach.

Residential careangel view built and operates 19 intermediate care facilities for children and adults with developmental disabilities (icf/dd homes); 16 are located in the coachella valley and three are in joshua tree, ca. The six-bed homes are licensed as icf/dd-h, n and cn. Classifications indicate the level of care required by the clients from habilitative (h) for primarily ambulatory clients, to nursing (n), to the highest level of care -- continuous nursing (cn). These homes provide a therapeutic and loving environment where clients work to meet individual goals set by a multidisciplinary team. We also operate one home licensed as a congregate living health facility (clhf) for six clients with muscular dystrophy who use wheelchairs for ambulation and ventilators to breathe. In all, we provide 24-hour residential care to up to 114 clients with a wide range of disabilities. In fy 2015-16, we provided more than 1 million hours of direct care service, feeding, bathing, toileting, dressing, transporting clients, etc. We provide what is classified as active treatment.
