Fairview Developmental Center

Fairview Developmental Center builds partnerships and supports choices. The company is one of five state-operated developmental centers operated by the Department of Developmental Services. Fairview is a multi-service residential facility licensed by the California Department of Health Services to provide acute, skilled, and intermediate care to individuals with developmental disabilities who need 24-hour health care supervision, a structured environment and a habilitation program not currently available in their home community. Services include training in daily living, vocational, leisure, academic, communication, mobility, socialization and community skills. The park-like campus is surrounded on three sides by a 36-hole golf course built on land that was sold to the city. Facilities at Fairview include a swimming pool, a work activity center, an auditorium, a park, a small animal farm, a recreational campsite and a library. Established in January 1959, Fairview Developmental Center has headquarters in Costa Mesa, Calif.
