California provides care for people with Intellectual Disabilities
and skilled nursing needs via a sophisticated, state of the art,
alternative model of care. People live in single family homes, with
individual bedrooms and all the typical "home-like" amenities, as
opposed to having to live in larger congregate hospital-like
settings. Likewise, our employees enjoy a smaller, more personal
and home-like working environment, as well as the opportunity to
provide a very high level of quality care based upon the smaller
number of residents (typically 4-5 per home) and the high staff to
resident ratio. #CB *MON SCADSP1
