CALMRA serves adults, age 18 years or older, with cognitive disabilities. Many of the individuals we serve also have physical disabilities. These individuals require 24 hour assistance in all areas of living; eating, bathing, dressing, transportation, etc. Individuals live with one or two housemates and receive support from trained, paid, caring staff. We also serve those who choose to live in their own homes but need some support from staff through our CSLA/ISS program.  In October of 2010, CALMRA opened a day program in Laurel, MD to provide day services to seniors or those with age related disabilities, cognitive disabilities and/or physical disabilities.

CALMRA was formed to meet a need - providing residential services to individuals living with their families and whose families, because of age, health, or other reasons, could no longer care for them.

In order to meet this need, CALMRA entered into a partnership with the State of Maryland, Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) and serves individuals from State Residential Centers as well as the community.

Initially, for the first few years, CALMRA operated as a partner with the ARC of Prince George's County. CALMRA entered into corporate independence July 1, 1996.

Residential 

CALMRA's primary focus is providing quality residential services to adults with cognitive disabilities in the community. We currently operate 15 homes in the Prince George's and Montgomery County areas, serving 43 individuals. Each home provides a family-like environment to three residents. Each home also has a live-in staff person to supervise the home.

CSLA/ISS

CALMRA'S CSLA/ISS program provides a wide array of services to individuals who live in their own homes but still need some supports. This can range from a few hours a week for help with money management, shopping or social activities to 24-hour staff support depending on the individual's needs. Each program is individualized to provide for the person's unique needs and desires.
