Welcome to our Community Services section, the next generation of Anne Carlsen Center care. For decades, our Jamestown campus was the only location in the state where we could fully meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. That changed in June 2008 with the launch of our Community Services which created greater access to all of the Center’s expertise and care. For more information on the services we provide throughout the state, please contact:

We offer In-Home Supports as well as Community Day Supports, helping individuals enjoy lives of dignity and independence. These programs also provide guidance for those in an assisting capacity.

We still offer exceptional residential services on our ACC Campus. But we are also meeting a growing need for services and supports in communities across the state. Our Community Services do not offer the same residential supports available at our Jamestown Campus. But we’re making it possible for more children to live in their natural family environments and more adults to become active and productive members of their communities.

Through our Community Services, we will provide space for therapy assessments, team meetings and group trainings without the hassle and time wasted of a cross-state drive.

In-Home Supports

Brochure

In-Home Supports assist individuals and their families, creating a stronger network and a greater chance of success in all areas of life for individuals with disabilities.

It takes a strong support system to help a person live a healthy, meaningful life.

Through In-Home Supports, the Anne Carlsen Center will help create your child’s foundation of learning. The focus will not center on just the individual, but also factors in the roles of parents, family members and caregivers, among others. Each will learn skills and routines that support the plan we’ve crafted for your child.

The Center’s programs are customized to your family and address your specific needs. We help track an individual’s development through a series of goals and objectives.

Benefits of supports in your home include:

Staying in the comfort of home
Saving time

No travel hassles
We conform to your schedules

Areas where In-Home Supports assist an individual’s learning:

Attending to personal care
Preparing snacks and meals
Learning the benefits of exercise

Show progress, or the attempt at progress in development of skills
