OUR HISTORY
VEMA is a family-owned organization founded by Rudy and Margie Vega in 2003. The Vega's purpose for providing services to people with developmental disabilities and TBI is a result of Mr. Vega caring for an uncle with Down Syndrome at an early age in life.
Rudy and Margie Vega would go on to realize their purpose to serve individuals with disabilities and foster children. The Vega's have worked with many children and adults with developmental disabilities and TBI's in the states of Texas and Arizona. After over 15 years of providing residential services and complete coordination of care and an abundance of knowledge the Vega's would go on to form VEMA in Phoenix, Arizona.
Twenty years later, VEMA continues to provide a variety of services to individuals in Arizona including Residential Habilitation (DDD), Behavioral Health, and Assisted Living services.
The amount of compassion and support that is provided to the members of VEMA is a direct reflection of the Vega Family Vision.
