Allowing a person to accomplish their goals and develop a sense of pride during that journey is what Santa Fe Place is dedicated to. Santa Fe Place is fosters the belief that when given a choice,  all people would choose options that give them dignity and independence. So many times throughout life, people with intellectual disabilities are treated as though they are helpless or children. Most people are unaware that treating people this way prevents them from reaching their full potential and hinders independence and can even feel demeaning at times. At Santa Fe Place, we understand that although your loved one may not be able to complete all of their self care or daily activities with complete independence (yet…), they CAN and SHOULD do as much as possible with only the level of help that is necessary. Our team is comprised of professionals who have a wide variety of expertise and years of experience in providing training and supports to people with intellectual disabilities. Feel free to explore the stories that our residents and families have shared about their experiences living at our homes.
