Ivey Ranch Adult Day Program

Ivey Ranch Park Association is a nonprofit in Oceanside that has served people with and without disabilities since 1981 through care programs and equine-assisted services. Its Adult Day Program offers functional skills training, vocational exposure and leisure activities, with progress assessed individually each year. The program is set on a working ranch with gardens, a therapeutic riding program and onsite Canine Companions training. Families quoted by the program describe a small, cozy setting, compassionate staff, routine outings to the market, gym and library, and healthy meals. It is licensed by the California Department of Social Services as an Adult Day Program for up to 22 participants.

The program provides functional skills training, vocational exposure and development, and leisure activities aimed at increasing independence. Participants take part in group activities and community outings, including walks to the market, gym and library, and spend time with the ranch's horses. Families quoted by the program say healthy meals are provided. Ivey Ranch also offers Tailored Day Services and in-home respite.
