A residential home for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities

Thank you for your support. It means everything.

EVERYONE DESERVES A HELPING HAND

People with disabilities and their families count on Hillside to provide quality care, independence and integration within our community. Hillside strives to advance the potential of each resident by fostering abilities and creating community.

For our 59 residents, Hillside is home.

The individuals who call Hillside their home need a caring community to survive. Hillside provides them what they need to follow their passions and discover their abilities.

Hillside Looks to the Future…

There are nationwide efforts to remove barriers to community living for people of all ages with disabilities, and Hillside is part of this movement. The Hillside Community Project will transform our model of care by creating a new mixed- abilities neighborhood on our property – the first of its kind in the Santa Barbara area.
“To provide a home that supports the residents’ efforts to maximize their physical, cognitive, social, and emotional abilities, so that they can attain their highest level of independence in an environment where people are treated with dignity and respect.”
