Consistent with a supported living model, residents may choose their own daily schedules…from attending a day program, to engaging in volunteering, performing a full or part-time job, or enjoying recreational pursuits, on or off the Big Wave campus. They can learn to grow their own food, gain gardening and nutrition skills, and care for chickens on the Big Wave Farm.
Big Wave plans to organize social outings and activities, and has a close relationship with organized sports for special needs, including basketball, swimming and softball. There are also many coastal opportunities for nearby beach hikes, exploring and accessing tide pools.
For transportation, Redicoast and Redi-wheels are special transportation services offered by San Mateo County Transit District to meet the needs of the mobility impaired in San Mateo County, and they cover the coast. There are also public bus routes that run from Airport Street into Half Moon Bay and local communities, with transfer options.
Residents can take advantage of the variety of independent living choices at Big Wave as well as the larger community, consistent with our founding principles.
