Valley CAPS

What Valley CAPS does

Valley CAPS (Center for Advanced Personal Success) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1976 in Manteca, California, providing adult day programs for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDDs). It operates five program sites across Manteca and Modesto in California's Central Valley, offering tiered support models including the ABLE program (1:3 ratio for behavioral support), the PLUS program (1:6 ratio for independent living), the Modesto program (1:3 ratio with the WAGES employment initiative), Manteca Senior CAPS (1:5 ratio for adults 50+), an In-Home Day Program (1:1 ratio), and Remote & Alternative Services delivered via telephone, video, and home supply delivery. Services are provided year-round, six hours daily, Monday through Friday.

The business model is dual: (1) government-funded service delivery through California's regional-center system and the Self-Determination Program, where regional centers authorize and reimburse day-program services; and (2) donations and charitable contributions from community foundations, family trusts, corporate giving programs (PG&E Employee Giving, Amazon Smile, Oak Valley Community Bank, etc.), and fraternal/community organizations (Knights of Columbus, Kiwanis). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Technology infrastructure is minimal and non-proprietary — the organization uses Samsung tablets for remote service trainings and standard video/telephone communications for remote service delivery, with no disclosed API, proprietary platform, or integration footprint.

The organization is governed by an Executive Director (Jeff C. Nichols, MA) supported by directors of Programs, HR, and Finance, plus three Assistant Program Directors, two BCBAs on contract, two RNs, and a community-led Board of Directors (President: Lantz Rey, Consumnes Fire Marshal). Operations are anchored by an extensive community-volunteer ecosystem spanning churches, food banks, libraries, and thrift stores, which functions as both a service-delivery channel and a soft referral pipeline. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and there is no evidence of parent-company ownership, equity investment, M&A activity, or AI/ML capability.
