Community Life

The Bhatia Family Village works with ETTA, an organization with over 30 years’ expertise developing and delivering services for neurodiverse individuals, to provide a robust calendar of outings, events and activities. Both residents and community members, with and without disabilities, can participate! These activities are covered by a flat fee.
