Residential Services

Maximizing independence and dignity through support and choice characterizes the Community House's Residential Services for adults with mental retardation.

Twenty adults currently live with their peers, either in group homes with 24-hour support, or in supervised apartments with more limited support.

Residents are provided with individualized assistance based on their needs. Support ranges from help with hygiene, nutrition and other task of daily living to assistance with more advanced skills such as budgeting and social interaction.

Residents are encouraged to set individual goals and engage in recreational and social activities of interest to them.  Almost all of our residents work, either in sheltered workshops, supported employment or individual positions in the private sector.

Residents are referred by the Connecticut Department of Developmental Services.

The residential program is licensed by the State of Connecticut.
