Company History
Home of Guiding Hands (HGH) was created as a result of a small, but dedicated and ambitious group of leaders in East County who wanted something better for their loved ones.
Since our inception in 1961, HGH has provided benchmark programming and housing for men, women, and children with developmental disabilities. We don’t see ourselves as caregivers; instead, we are partners, facilitators, community members, and teachers.
Today, we have evolved from a 14-acre campus in Lakeside, to 31 four to six person homes and community and home-based services throughout San Diego County and Imperial Valley.
