Orem, UT
Sunflower Hill is based in Pleasanton and Livermore, California, and it centers adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who want more structure, more independence, and a stronger connection to community. 🌿 Sunflower Hill’s housing communities and instructional programming are designed for adults with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and other developmental disabilities, so the focus stays focused and practical.
🧩 Sunflower Hill keeps the work hands-on through person-centered curriculum, small-group activities, and accessible experiences that can happen in person or virtually. The garden setting adds a nice rhythm to the day: educational, therapeutic, and life-skills topics, along with vocational horticulture, independent living skills, and opportunities to learn by doing. 📚 Participants also get chances to explore healthy foods, field tasks, and other everyday skills in a way that feels grounded rather than theoretical.
🏡 Sunflower Hill stands out because its housing and programming are integrated rather than feeling separate. The communities in Pleasanton and Livermore support adults in real residential settings, while the garden program gives a steady place for learning, work practice, and community involvement.🧭 For families looking ahead to long-term support, co-develops affordable, independent housing for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). This level of programming is considered an independent living community.
