About Our Program

Ädelbrook’s CRS/CLA homes provide community-based residences for young adults with developmental disabilities, who require staffing assistances to better support their independence and growth. The CRS/CLA homes, located throughout the state of Connecticut, are chosen based on proximity to their loved ones’ residence to encourage as much time with their family as possible, as well as provide adjacency to their day program services/school and other community-based activities. The houses are shared living arrangements for three or four DDS individuals, designed to maximize each person’s potential with the ultimate goal of greater independence and less staffing supports. A therapeutic staffing team includes program behaviorists who provide individualized behavior support plans, highly trained direct care staff specializing in psychological and physical management techniques, a client entitlement coordinator who assists with managing the individuals state entitlements and finances, and other contracted supports based on the individuals’ acute needs. Our individuals are encouraged to explore their surrounding neighborhood by participating in community events, activities of daily living, and interaction with individuals residing in other CRS/CLA homes.
