Services

For more than 20 years, we have been a recognized leader in the provision of culturally competent care and service delivery primarily to communities of color. Residential, out-patient and community based services are developed on the principles of Compassion, Teamwork, Integrity and Excellence. Services are designed to examine cultural beliefs and behavior that may impede positive health outcomes. Services are organized to provide practice and evidence based care to facilitate treatment adherence and compliance consistent with cultural competence models of care. CRR is licensed by The NYS Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) and the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) and funded by the NYS Department of Health for HIV/AIDS service provision.

Day Habilitation assists individuals to acquire, retain or improve their self-help, socialization, and adaptive skills including communication, travel and other areas in adult education. Day Habilitation regularly takes place in a non-residential setting, separate from the person’s private residence or other home. Activities and environments are designed to foster the development of skills and appropriate behavior, greater independence, community inclusion, relationship building, self-advocacy and informed choice. Additionally, individuals participating in day habilitation services often contribute to their communities through volunteer work. Transportation services are also available.

Respite services provides short-term relief to caregivers who are responsible for the primary care and support of a person with a developmental disability.
