Villa de Vida was founded to create a safe and supportive community where adults with disabilities can live their best lives, providing the support necessary to improve their independence.

Our two primary programs work together to provide pathways to successful lives for these adults. Our team also works closely with the County of San Diego Regional Center to ensure that significant synergy between the services and resources offered by both organizations.
