Residential Living
Sandy Park Development Center
64 residents call Sandy Park Development home, and they are supported by administrative and professional team members.
We have four cottages on campus for client living, with 16 clients per cottage.
Palm Cottage
Palm cottage is a very electric group of guys ranging from age 20 to 70s, all with varying levels of abilities. They are a high-energy group who enjoys watching old westerns, MeTv, listening to music, and participating in various activities. Activities include fine motor, gross motor, patterns, following directions, sensory, sports, arts & crafts, outings and social activities. Clients are assisted with their ADLs through active treatment.
Desert Rose Cottage
Like the plant itself, our Desert Rose clients thrive in sunlight. They enjoy spending time outside playing basketball, water activities, kickball, and volleyball in the courtyard. We also practice fine and gross motor skills and plenty of sensory skills for our Desert Rose Behavior Unit clients. We have seen great progress in our clients through the years and have a few Special Olympic athletes participating in running and bowling!
Magnolia Cottage
The flowers of many Magnolia species are edible. This is fitting because the ladies of Magnolia Cottage (our all-female cottage) love to eat! They enjoy numerous outings including restaurants, Target and Special Olympics participation. Magnolia Cottage integrates various ages and abilities with just the right amount of “sass”!
Bamboo Cottage
Bamboo cottage has 16 amazing men residing there. They all have their own unique personalities and bring so much joy to the cottage. This cottage is considered our developmental group and have high needs for training and active treatment in all or most of their ADLs. They all enjoy doing different things and many enjoy time alone or individual activities over group activities.
