Charles River Association For Retarded Citizens Inc

Residential services - the charles river center provides housing to adults with developmental disabilities. We have 22 residences in 8 different communities. Assistance varies from intensive staffing for some residences to intermittent assistance for individuals living in their own apartments. Individuals are assisted with meal preparation, personal care and hygiene and social skill development. All individuals are encouraged to develop friendships in their neighborhoods and to participate in community events.

Family support - this division offers a broad range of recreational programs, advocacy services, seminars and a multitude of resources to participating families. From after school and vacation programs for children to extended day recreational activities for adults to the ellie bloom olympics for all. Family support empowers families with information, helps them network with community resources and provides support and relief from the constant care required by a child or adult with a developmental disability.
