A place to call home for people with brain injuries
Casa Colina at Rancho Piño Verde is a 31-bed facility offering respite,
intermediate, and long-term residential care for individuals who have
experienced traumatic or acquired brain injury (TBI or ABI) and are behaviorally
challenged. Since 1989, Casa Colina at Rancho Piño Verde has provided
structured and semi-independent living to meet the unique needs of these
clients in a manner that recognizes their dignity and self-esteem.
Our broad client base ranges from fully dependent, non-ambulatory individuals
to ambulatory, semi-independent residents who undergo continuing education
at nearby Victor Valley Community College. We offer 26 licensed beds for
structured living and 5 non-licensed beds for semi-independent living.
Community Focus
When a person experiences a brain injury, often they must relearn the appropriate
way to interact with others. This is why we offer a wide range of individual
and group activities—including behavioral and educational programming,
wellness clinics overseen by a licensed physical therapist, and social
excursions—to help residents establish healthy routines and enjoy
productive, rewarding lives.
The Safety and Comfort of Home
Our airy, light-filled interior spaces and well-appointed private and semi-private
bedrooms convey comfort and security. Outside, the expansive 20-acre property
offers a pool and spa, fitness room, stocked fishing ponds, pasture with
farm animals, and more, all set amid gorgeous Spanish/ranch-style architecture.
Beyond the property, the surrounding rural landscape provides a peaceful,
low-stimulus environment that minimizes elopement risk.
