CLO homes are single family style homes, typically located in rural country settings. The homes are built to meet fire and life safety codes and are designed so that our clients have their own private bedrooms. We will often pair 2-3 homes in proximity to each other so that staff resources may be shared for activities and emergencies.
We provide 24 hour supervision due to the vulnerabilities and supervision needs of our clients. Our typical staffing pattern for a home is 2-3 staff during all waking hours, with awake overnight staff and on site management. The primary function of the third staff during waking hours is to enhance recreational and community integration activities.
CLO strongly believes that each person is a unique individual and can be supported to safely live and integrate into their community. CLO supports each individual to be an active member of their community, based on their individual interests. Individualized community integration day support is available.
