ABLE
A Broader Living Experience
A Home Built
on a Promise
Together, we create a culture of care and belonging.
For more than forty years, A Broader Living Experience has provided relationship-centered residential care for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Marin County.
We believe every person deserves a home where they are known, valued, and cared for, even as their needs change.
Each Journey is Different
Some residents have lived at ABLE for decades.
Others join us later in life, after years with family or in settings that supported greater independence.
​
Their journeys are different.
Â
Our commitment to each person is the same:
​
To know them. To grow with their changing needs. And to create a home where they experience
care, dignity, connection, and belonging.

We Know People Deeply
Long-term relationships help our team understand each resident's communication, preferences, routines, joys, and subtle signs that say so much.
How We Create a Culture
of Care and Belonging
At ABLE, care begins with knowing the person — not simply the diagnosis, the care plan, or the task at hand.
We Grow With Changing Needs
As residents require additional medical, mobility, or personal support, we work to strengthen the care around them and preserve the relationships that help them feel secure.
We Create Belonging
Residents are not simply recipients of services. They are adults, neighbors, friends, family members, and valued members of the ABLE community.
