Residential Opportunities
Group Residences
One of the most significant decisions to be made in planning for the future of a person with an intellectual disability or spectrum disorder is the decision to seek a residential setting outside of the family home. The Crystal Run Village, Inc. Residential Services Program offers optimum community inclusion, comfort, enjoyment, convenience, beauty and security. Suburban and rural environments offer easy access to the outdoors, shopping, amusements, neighborhood happenings and religious services. The services provided in these home-like settings include 24-hour staffing, meals, daily program planning, transportation, medical assistance and help in defining personal preferences and individual goal achievement.
The agency's ever evolving residential program was modernized through a monumental reconfiguration plan initiated in 1991 with the relocating of young people housed at Greerwoody-Crest, a 90 bed Intermediate Care Facility in Pomona. The agency’s Fallsburg campus and original residential school in Middletown closed in early 2002. The organization’s rigorous development campaign has successfully provided the residents of these large congregate care facilities with the opportunity to move into supervised group homes throughout Orange, Rockland and Sullivan Counties. The plan culminated in a total of 43 residences housing 4 - 14 people, offering individualized services and a path to normalized living and community participation.
Supportive Apartments
This independent living program services people who are fully integrated in the community and is designed to serve people with mild or moderate mental disabilities who do not need 24-hour supervision. The supportive apartment program provides a case worker as auxiliary support for the continued success of their independence.
