Programs

CALMRA serves adults, age 18 years or older, with developmental disabilities. Many of the individuals have physical disabilities in addition to mental retardation. These residents 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.

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.
