California Vocations Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing residential and vocational support to developmentally disabled adults. CVI is located in Paradise, CA , our organization consists of three distinct components, Licensed Residential Care (Arthur Schawlow Center & Dean Manor), Supported Living Services and Day Programs. The Arthur Schawlow Center was established in September of 1984 as a licensed community care facility. Our location boasts five beautiful acres, a swimming pool, a garden, a greenhouse, an activities center and live farm animals. Community Opportunity for Vocational Experience (C.O.V.E) is a community-based day program for developmentally disabled adults. C.O.V.E. is not site-based; rather we provide all training in natural work settings such as: grocery stores, banks, job sites, community transit centers and libraries. Our primary goal is to place consumers into either paid or volunteer employment, working alongside non-handicapped workers within the community. Supported Living Services was created in January of 1996 to meet the needs of people with developmental disabilities who benefit from living in their own home rather than in a congregated environment. Our intent is to provide living environments to those people who no longer require or benefit from the congregate lifestyle that the Arthur Schawlow Center offers. Our CVI programs specialize in service to individuals who exhibit challenging behavior. Residential staff support is provided according to the individual consumer’s needs as decided by the individual along with their inter-disciplinary support team. Mission & Vision Our Mission is to provide an environment of respect while supporting
choices and promoting self-directed lives for adults with developmental
disabilities. It is our Vision that individuals with developmental
disabilities meet their potential and live their dreams in a community
where all belong.  |
