Guardian's TLC Ranch Residential Facility
The Rainbow Guardian’s residential facility, TLC Ranch, is licensed for up to six, young intellectually challenged females. The charity’s goal is that the home will result in a close-to-normal atmosphere for them where they can reside happily and comfortably for the majority or even rest of their lives. The home is equipped with 24-hour, trained staff and wellness programs. The goal of the residential facility is to incorporate its residents out into the community regularly for integration and inclusion purposes. In addition, TLC Ranch gives these special females the tools that they need to become more self-sufficient and independent.
