Volunteering is about giving, and we’re thrilled about all the care and support you’ve given us.
May it return to you many times over.
It is especially important during the global pandemic that we take a moment to thank all Direct Support Professionals for the work you do to help individuals remain safe, healthy and independent. Your hard work does not go unnoticed.
You are the front-line support who help us deliver excellent service so that individuals with disabilities can live the life they want.
You are an integral part of life in the community for individuals with disabilities, and your tireless around-the-clock commitment ensures individuals receive the care they need. Your hard work makes a profound impact and assists individuals to lead independent and meaningful lives.
Community Living Options appreciates you and values you as part of our community!

CARF International is a private, non-profit organization which promotes the quality, value and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process. The goal is continuous improvement of services which center on improving the lives of persons served. Each CARF accredited organization is reviewed every three years. Standards, are current and field driven and reviewed by peer consultants who work in the same type of organizations that they are reviewing. On March 6-8, CLO was visited by 2 surveyors who reviewed all business practices ( Leadership, Health and Safety, Human Resources, Finance, Strategic Planning, Accessibility, Technology, Performance Measurement and Management, Input from Persons Served, Legal Requirements and Risk Management) and everything related to program – Medications, Program Service & Structure, Individual-Centered Program Design and Delivery as well as our specific programs – Community Housing, Community Integration (the Alcott Center) and Supported Living.
I am happy to report that Community Living Options received ZERO RECOMMENDATIONS. In fact, CLO has received zero recommendations during 6 of the last 8 surveys. This is all the more remarkable given only 3% of the organizations receive 0 recommendations. CARF conducts more than 2800 surveys a year.
We could not achieve this milestone without the hard work of each and every employee of CLO. From Support Staff to Executive Director to Board of Directors, we take the responsibilities of service to the people we support seriously, and it shows.

For eligible purchases at AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price to the customer’s selected charitable organization.
No. There is no cost to charitable organizations or to AmazonSmile customers. The shopping experience is identical to Amazon.com with the added benefit that the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate to the charitable organizations selected by customers.
