At Community Living Services (CSL), we believe everyone has the right and ability to live in the community of their own choosing regardless of the amount of support needed. Our Supported Community Living program ensures that individuals have personalized assistance to live in a safe and decent home of their own choice while receiving the support they need.
Even though living and caring for someone with disability is both a rewarding and fulfilling experience, it can also be challenging and extremely difficult without help. Community Living Services provides families with qualified well trained staff to stay with their family members to ensure that they are safe and are well cared for while they take a short-term break.
Community Living Services has designed its program in assisting individuals in acquiring, retaining and improving their self-help, socialization and adaptive skills that are essential for successful living in their homes and community. The individuals in this program are able to learn, maintain or improve their skills through participation in a variety of everyday activities under staff supervision.
On the behalf of our staff and the individuals with intellectual disabilities who receive our services, I welcome you to our website. Our Holistic Approach in service delivery and staff training ensures great outcome is achieved even with the most challenging clients. We believe that Everyone should be Given Opportunity; hence we exceptionally tailor our programs to meet the unique needs of our clients.
Our Foundation is faith based and is inspired by “What would Jesus DO” and of “Doing The Right Thing” in every activity of our organization. This base enables the mind to meet the soul and find its rightful place, balance and coexistence with nature. Our clients are taught and equipped with meaningful resources they can use in managing and coping with their mental illness and everyday challenges. It is our hope that you will find inspiration and information you are looking for in these pages.
