Noah Homes cut the ribbon in Spring Valley on Thursday for some of the first memory care homes in California to house people with developmental disabilities and Alzheimer's.
Officials from Noah Homes opened these groundbreaking care homes, located on the 1200 block of Campo Road in Spring Valley, at about 10 a.m.
These innovative homes are hugely significant for people with Down syndrome, as the majority of people with this disability will develop Alzheimer's if they live into their 60s, said an official from Noah Homes.
San Diego has opened two of the first memory care homes in the nation, leading the path to begin housing 280,000 people living with developmental disabilities in California, according to Noah Homes.
Noah Homes is a nonprofit organization that aims to advance quality care for individuals with development disabilities along with Alzheimer's or other related forms of dementia.
Officials say these care homes set an example, and should be used as a model of care to be replicated nationwide.
