VALLEYLIFE is committed to our member's personal choice and independence, and supporting each member to draw up their own Individual Service Plan so that emotional, physical, social and personal development needs are met.

Residential Programs:

We currently have 25 residential homes located in the metropolitan Phoenix area. These homes are permanent residence for persons with disabilities to live with 3 to 6 Phoenix residents. The residential properties are barrier free and many are designed to accommodate the needs of those with physical challenges. All housing is licensed by Arizona Department of Health Programs (AZDHS) and the programs are monitored by Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD). We have in-house staff to help with ongoing effort to encourage independence, to improve social interactions, and to monitor complex medical needs, if needed. We provide quality housing as well as transportation service to our member residents.

Adult Day Programs:

Our Adult Day centers are located in eleven separate locations in the Phoenix metro area. Each center is unique and serve adults of all ages with developmental disabilities who want to improve their independent living, social, and recreational skills. There are a variety of enrichment programs from which to choose to encourage intellectual and social growth. This is also a great place for primary caregivers and seniors to feel a peace of mind knowing their loved one is well take care of.

Attendant Care
Provides assistance to attain or maintain safe and sanitary living conditions and/or to maintain personal cleanliness and activities of daily living. This service may be provided in the individual’s home or in the community.
Respite
