What it says it does

For decades, Angel View's mission has been helping children and adults with disabilities reach their maximum potential. Our clients have acquired head injuries, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, intellectual disabilities, neuromuscular diseases, and orthopedic disorders. Approximately 70% have some form of paralysis and require wheelchairs for ambulation. Because Angel View exists, 100% of the Coachella Valley residents who need our services have them available without leaving the Palm Springs area the only criterion is a qualifying disability. In 2024-2025, we assisted approximately 700 individuals with disabilities, 93% of whom are from the Coachella Valley, through three primary programs: Residential Care, Adult Day Program, and Angel View Outreach.

Programs described in its return (4)
  1. $15.9 million spent. THRIFT STORES - Angel View operates Resale Stores in Riverside and San Bernardino counties and a Clearance Center in Desert Hot Springs that offer shoppers a wide variety of constantly changing merchandise. All proceeds from the sale of our gently used merchandise directly benefit the children and adults with disabilities we assist through our programs and services.
  2. $15.0 million spent. RESIDENTIAL CARE - Angel View operates 16 homes. 15 of the homes are intermediate care facilities for children and adults with developmental disabilities (ICF/DD homes). We also operate one home licensed as a Congregate Living Health Facility (CLHF) for six clients with muscular dystrophy who use wheelchairs for ambulation and ventilators to breathe. All 16 homes are located in the Coachella. All homes are six-bed homes and are licensed as ICF/DD-H, N and CN and one CLHF. Classifications indicate the level of care required by the clients from habilitative (H) for primarily ambulatory clients, to nursing (N), to the highest level of care -- continuous nursing (CN). These homes provide a therapeutic and loving environment where clients work to meet individual goals set by a multidisciplinary team. In all, we provide 24-hour residential care to up to 96 clients with a wide range of disabilities. We provided more than 1 million hours of direct care service, feeding, bathing, toileting, dressing, transporting clients, etc. We provide what is classified as active treatment. Each client meets with an Interdisciplinary Team to set individualized goals. All of their ongoing therapies and activities are designed to help them maximize their independence.
  3. $2.5 million spent. DAY PROGRAM - The Angel View Day Program, which provides therapeutic, educational, and recreational services to adults with developmental disabilities, once again enables clients to learn new skills and achieve individual goals set by a multidisciplinary team. The program offers essential respite for local families who are caring for their loved ones at home. The program is housed at our Desert Hot Springs Day Program site. Transportation to and from the program is provided, as well as transportation to all outings. The program was originally designed for 30 clients but thanks to its success and community support, was expanded twice and is currently serving 85 clients.
