Community Living Options

Community Living Options (CLO) is a not for profit service provider agency for adult individuals with developmental disabilities.  As of August 1, 2008 we have been providing services for two years.  At the present, we serve individuals in day habilitation, semi-independent living,  individualized supported living and those needing personal care attendants.

The service we provide to each individual is based on their Person Centered Plan (PCP).  A PCP addresses strengths and needs pertaining to daily living.  The PCP contains Outcomes and Action plans to guide the staff in providing specific services to the individual to meet their needs.  Other services provided through CLO include transportation for shopping, appointments, banking and community activities. 

Being a not for profit agency, we put our money back into our company by enhancing programs for our consumers and taking care of our staff.  Our staff is paid above the state average pay for direct care staff.  In addition, our full time staff members receives health insurance and other benefits.  CLO believes to retain quality staff members, that those staff memebers should be rewarded for their efforts.  In addition to the benefits that our staff receives, our consumers also benefit from our not for profit status.  Every year, CLO takes their consumers on a large trip or vacation and CLO pays for the larges majority of the expense of the trip.  the last two years, this large trip has been an excursion to Branson Missouri.  Other things that we have done for our consumers include the following:  catered summer picnic for consumers and their family,  star of the month program for consumers to recognize them on an individual basis, private pool membership, work out facility membership, and Christmas gifts.  In addition, both our consumers and our staff alike are recognized on their birthday and celebrated with cake and ice cream. 

Community Living Options takes pride in the services we provide.  Our number one concern is the consumers.  It is our goal that our consumers have a happy, healthy and fulfilling life.
