Mission: Our mission is to provide a community of loving homes and empowering support services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Proudly celebrating 65 years of service.
Programs: Peppermint ridge operates eleven licensed residences and two vendorized independent/supported living skills programs in the western riverside county area. Five of the eleven residences are located on the main campus and six are located within the corona community. The eleven residences and two vendorized independent/supported living skills programs serve 100 individuals with special developmental needs. Each individual receives 24-hour care and the opportunity to thrive among a village of peers. These individuals are taught living, social and job skills in order to strive toward their highest potential and greatest possible degree of independence. These individuals are provided with an environment that assists them in developing these skills. Residents enjoy home-cooked meals, a welcoming house decorated with their favorite things and time with family and friends. They participate in a variety of activities that spark their interest. They learn to advocate for themselves, to garden, create works of art, work out, go shopping and explore the town. Through these activities, the residents realize a sense of belonging, acceptance and happiness. The peppermint ridge program seek to empower the residents to drive their own desires, goals and assist them in realizing a greater sense of independence and fulfillment.
