Mission Statement
Rainbow Acres is a Christian community with heart that empowers persons with developmental disabilities to live to their fullest potential with dignity and purpose.
About This Cause
Rainbow Acres is a Christian residential community with a wide range of programs for developmentally disabled adults. These programs serve residents (called “Ranchers”) who hail from more than 15 U.S. states and represent all types of faith backgrounds. Located in Arizona’s scenic Verde Valley, Rainbow Acres serves adults with a wide variety and degree of cognitive and developmental disabilities, including but not limited to Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome, Fragile X and those within the Autism spectrum. Ranchers range from 18 years of age to well into their 80’s. Core programs address the immediate and long-term needs of the Ranchers in vital developmental areas: cognitive, vocational, physical/health, spiritual and social. Our professional educators and staff members are passionate about helping Ranchers develop to their full potential, and are experienced in successfully teaching individuals across a wide range of ability and learning styles. Our goal is to strengthen and enhance the cognitive abilities of each Rancher, and to help them gain confidence in their abilities. At Rainbow Acres, everything is centered on the Ranchers, as they experience: – Opportunities for personal growth – Freedom of choice – A sense of independence with the security of professional and compassionate care – Empowerment to achieve personal goals – Friends who accept them unconditionally – Paths to discover their purpose in life – A safe home full of inspiring programs, joyous exploration and endless encouragement Rainbow Acres addresses our society’s growing need for residential communities that provide a safe, loving and enriching environment where adults with developmental disabilities can lead satisfying lives and achieve their full potential. Each year, thousands of families across the U.S. grapple to help a loved one with developmental disabilities make living decisions as they enter adulthood and want more independence and opportunities for personal growth. Nationwide, residential programs that serve developmentally disabled adults are increasingly strained as the need has increased due to the rise in autism and other factors -- and as those with disabilities live longer lives. Many states have closed group homes and halted vocational training for the developmentally disabled. Rainbow Acres addresses this societal problem by providing a thriving residential community that continues to grow and flourish in response to the needs and desires of its residents.
