Fostering Abilities, Creating Community

A residential home for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Who We Are

At Hillside, we believe in possibility.

We are a leading advocate for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities on the Central Coast. For over 80 years we’ve been more than just a care facility — we’ve been a home for 59 residents.

Who We Serve

Residents of Hillside are living with moderate to severe disabilities. They require an environment with round-the-clock support that meets their personal and medical needs.

Hillside isn’t just a place, it’s people.

People of all abilities, backgrounds, and stories. Living together, learning together, and growing together.

Ways to Give

This is your invitation to learn, to give, to stand with us.

Because the heart of a healthy community is all of us.

Upcoming Events

Join us throughout the year as we celebrate, connect, and raise funds for the Hillside community. Every event helps create opportunities for our residents while bringing together friends, families, and supporters who believe in our mission.
