Community Training Homes

Community Residences, Inc. established its Community Training Program in 1990. This Program operates in the North and West  Regions of the Department of Developmental Services. At present, the Program supports thirty-seven individuals and their caregivers within the community.

Community Training homes can support people with disabilities within the community in the least restrictive environment. Individuals are given support, education and training in skills needed to live in an apartment in a supported living arrangement.  People who have lived at home successfully with their parents are ideal candidates for Community Training Homes as a stepping-stone to a more independent life. The comforts of family life can still be enjoyed by the individual while continuing to improve life skills that will enable them to live more independently. 

Our CTH Providers are warm, nurturing people who find providing a home and guidance to a disabled individual highly rewarding. They provide for the individuals needs as well as becoming an essential member of the individual’s Treatment Team. They participate in development of goals and provide training to the individual in skill development and acquisition. Routine medical care, recreation services and daily care are provided by the Provider.
