Congregate Residential Services

At Cumberland Mountain Community Services Board, Congregate Residential Services are provided in group homes and help individuals with developmental disabilities to maximize their own independence. Individuals receive training in areas of personal hygiene and grooming, communication skills, domestic skills, social living and community integration. Congregate Residential Services provide overnight, awake staff to monitor medical, health and behavioral needs of individuals. Medical needs are continually assessed and referrals for medical care are made to the program nurse or the individual’s physician. Needed medications are administered by trained staff under a doctor’s order. Individuals who receive congregate residential services also receive day support services in a location separate from the group home. All group homes provide services in a family-like environment, observing as much personal freedom as possible.
