Independent Options has been improving lives since 1984. The dream of providing individuals with developmental disabilities an opportunity to grow and thrive in their communities became a reality when with the opening of one home in Riverside, CA. What started out as one home in Riverside, has turned into 41 homes in 5 different counties, a Foster Home Agency for adults with developmental disabilities, 3 behavioral day programs, as well as other services and activities offering opportunities for these individuals to become the persons they want to be. We assist individuals to set and reach goals to becoming their best selves. In the process we continue to learn and grow from each other. Our days are never boring, and our work is so rewarding. It is not easy changing the world but we work together to make a difference. Come be a part of this hard-working team!
