Profile: VALLEYLIFE (formerly known as Valley of the Sun School and Habilitation Center)

VALLEYLIFE is a nonprofit, community-based organization. They have developed life programs and services specifically designed for individuals with disabilities to enhance their quality of life. A common concern for individuals with disabilities and their loved ones is to not know who will help them in life when their family members are unable to do so. Caring and educated staff and quality programs help to solve that issue. VALLEYLIFE programs fall under four categories: residential, vocational, adult day centers, and home and community based services.

Our Mission: “To enhance the quality of life of people with disabilities by providing diversified programs that promote the highest standards”

Our Vision: To have an environment where individuals with disabilities have access to an equal opportunity of living, loving and learning.

On any given day, we serve over 400 individuals in our program areas.
