There’s a lot happening at Gateway Center—and our Board of Directors is helping lead the way!

This Saturday (8/29), our Board of Directors came together for the 2026 Board Retreat, dedicating their time to meaningful conversations about Gateway Center’s future, our mission, and how we continue growing as an organization serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The day also brought our Board and leadership team together for the unveiling of Gateway Center’s new exterior sign—a small but meaningful symbol of the progress and transformation happening across our organization.

We’re grateful for a Board that shows up, asks important questions, and believes deeply in the people and families we serve.

Everyday life at Gateway Center. 🩵

For the individuals who call our Intermediate Care Facilities (ICF/DD-H) home, living well means being part of the community around them.

With the beautiful Monterey Peninsula as our backyard, places like Asilomar offer opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, spend time together, and work toward individual goals—all while experiencing the community they call home.

This is person-centered living at Gateway Center.

Wishing Johnnie all the best on his next journey!

Today, the Gateway Center team gathered over sushi, stories, and conversation to celebrate Johnnie Ivey and his years of service as a Qualified Intellectual Disability Professional (QIDP)within our Intermediate Care Facilities.

Throughout his time at Gateway Center, Johnnie played an important role in supporting our residents and built meaningful relationships with the individuals we serve, their families, and our employees.

Johnnie will certainly be missed. As he begins his next chapter, we wish him continued success and happiness—and he'll always be welcome back to visit his Gateway Center family.

Thank you for your service, Johnnie! 💙

Celebrating a meaningful milestone ❤️

Gateway Center resident Lisa recently celebrated a very special day as she received her Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation at St. Angela Merici Catholic Church in Pacific Grove.

Surrounded by family and friends, Lisa's celebration marked an important milestone in her personal and spiritual journey. We were especially honored to welcome her family, Bobby and Lynette Blackman, who traveled from Louisiana to share in this memorable occasion.

At Gateway Center, our Intermediate Care Facilities (ICFs) do more than provide 24-hour support—we help individuals pursue the goals, relationships, traditions, and life experiences that are meaningful to them. Supporting moments like these is an important part of delivering truly person-centered care.

Congratulations, Lisa! We are honored to have shared this special day with you and your family.

Last Friday, Gateway Center wrapped up our summer partnership with Save Our Shores, bringing together individuals from across our programs for a meaningful day of learning and reflection.

Just two weeks after our Carmel Beach cleanup, it was inspiring to see how the trash we collected is already helping protect our coastline. To conclude the three-part series, each participant made a personal pledge to continue caring for our beaches and doing their part to protect the environment.

A heartfelt thank you to Save Our Shores for an incredible partnership and for inspiring environmental stewardship throughout our community. We look forward to working together again!

Together, we're transforming more than a kitchen—we're investing in a home.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we've raised more than $38,000 toward renovating the kitchen in one of Gateway Center's Intermediate Care Facilities!

For the individuals who call Gateway Center home, this kitchen is more than a place to prepare meals. It's where they build independence, learn new skills, gather with friends, and create lasting memories.

While we've made tremendous progress—and have several sponsorship requests currently under consideration—we're not at the finish line just yet.

💙 You can help us get there. Every gift, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to creating a beautiful, welcoming kitchen our residents will enjoy for years to come.

Thank you for believing in our mission and helping create a place our residents are proud to call home.
