A Full Life: Stephanie

“A Full Life” series is an on-going narrative throughout Lifehouse. The goal is to help the community discover the creativity, expression and confidence within each individual that Lifehouse supports.

Stephanie Caires has been supported by Lifehouse for 13 years. Getting her drivers license meant freedom, independence, and feeling like an adult. This mini documentary is filmed and produced by Humans Being Media, following Stephanie as she shares her story of how she has achieved a major life goal and hopes to continue to grow with a little help from Lifehouse.

Home for Life

Joy | Independence | Connection

The dreams and aspirations of those we serve to live a full life remain front and center to our mission, even now, in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis.

Last year, when Lifehouse celebrated it’s 65th anniversary, we launched the capital campaign, Home for Life: Campaign for a Permanent Home for Lifehouse. Our new headquarters will help control operating costs and provide us with a permanent home from which to offer a lifetime of services. Lifehouse provides an array of services and support that facilitates a full life for over 360 people with developmental disabilities in the Bay Area. We also want to acknowledge our 400+ staff who are working every day to get us through this crisis.

Lifehouse will rise to this challenge with ingenuity, compassion, and resilience. We are facing challenges to our operations, fundraising, and advocacy for our staff and the people we support. In times like these, Lifehouse and other nonprofit organizations in our community stand shoulder-to-shoulder, and we encourage you to support our efforts. Lifehouse needs you now more than ever.

Warmest regards,

Nancy Dow Moody

Building Better Lives Together

“The Wellness University” was born out of Margaret Flores’ dream to create a series where Lifehouse Residents can share resources in order to lead healthy lives. The series will share practical easy wellness tips, simple delicious and nutritious recipes, fun exercise tips, latest health discoveries, and any tips that inspire creativity and increase the quality of our lives.

Along with the Lifehouse Technology Program and the residents at San Anselmo House, Margaret has facilitated the creation of “The Wellness University’s” first recipe tutorial video. We hope that you will follow along and enjoy as we discover the wealth of resources that exist in the Lifehouse community.

First up is the wonderfully delicious recipe for Butterfly Pea Flower Tea!
