It’s in our DNA.

CRI is one of more than 500 federally funded Centers for Independent Living across the nation established by people with disabilities for people with disabilities.
Elevating your Quality of Life
Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities
Restore your independence in your home and community with a helping hand for daily activities, instruction, opportunities, and more.
Veterans
Many veterans struggle to maintain their independence due to disabilities. We can help you stay in your home as long as possible because you are more than deserving of independence and dignity.
Elderly and Aging
The goal of staying in your home may feel out of reach. Our highly trained staff can assist you in your daily living activities to help you stay where you feel most comfortable – your home.
What Does Living with an Intellectual Disability Mean?
Living with an intellectual disability means facing unique challenges in learning, problem-solving, and daily living skills. It can affect communication, social interaction, and the ability to perform everyday tasks. However, with the right support, individuals with intellectual disabilities can lead meaningful, independent lives.
At CRI, we’re dedicated to providing that support. Our Direct Support Workers help clients build the skills they need to thrive, ensuring they are included, valued, and able to contribute to their communities. Join us and be part of a team that makes a real difference every day.
Are You Ready for a Helping Hand?
If you are ready to have a helping hand but are unsure of where to begin, our Care Reps can help you build a program that works for you and your unique needs. To schedule a teleconference or in-person consultation, please call or complete the form.
