Community Living Services
Since September, 1989, Arkansas
Support Network has offered Community Living Services. Until
recently, individuals who experienced a developmental disability
(mental retardation, cerebral palsy, autism, or epilepsy) and could
not live within their homes or communities without specialized
services or supports often found that the only available choice was
institutionalization. The CLS program is designed to ensure that
institutionalization is never the only option. Through the use of
paid staff and natural supports, we provide individualized services
which make it possible for individuals with severe disabilities to
thrive in the community. Our CLS staff are recognized statewide for
their expertise and dedication.
Services and programs include:
-
Supported Living: Provides a
range of services, from minimal assistance to full-time live in
support, which assist individuals in living in their own homes
and communities. Contact
Syard Evans.
-
Personal Care: Provides services
which enable individuals who need assistance with activities of
daily living to continue to reside in their own homes or with
their families. Contact Linda Michaels.
-
Case Management: Provides
assistance with coordination of services and community
resources, advocacy, planning, and monitoring and evaluation of
services provided. Contact
Cassie Latimer.
