Adult Community Support Services

Limerick I and Limerick II Community Support Services

These two Community Support Programs share a rural 40-acre property that is also home to a flock of chickens and other barn animals, several cats, and offers plenty of space to explore, relax, and engage with others.

Limerick I provides services to adults with severe developmental disabilities with an emphasis on social skills training, community integration, and opportunities for engagement in sensory related activities. Individuals receive individualized support, assistance with daily living skills and the opportunity to engage in community activities such as outings to local fairs, frequenting area restaurants and involvement in volunteer activities.

Limerick II provides similar services, but also offers opportunities for individuals to engage in structured outdoor activities, such as wood harvesting, garden and yard work, and animal and barn chores. In addition, indoor activities such as paper recycling and cooking classes are offered. All activities are individually tailored and are designed to teach skills, build relationships and foster team work, address sensory needs, and provide meaningful activities that are of interest to those who participate.

North Yarmouth Community Support Services

Located in rural North Yarmouth, this site offers individualized and group activities as well as a comprehensive structured on and off-site paper recycling program. The recycling program requires participants to pick up paper at local schools and businesses, sort and shred it and prepare it for resale. Activities similar to those at Limerick I and II are also offered.

Bishop Community Support Services

Located in Portland, this site offers a variety of on and off site activities. Because of its location, many of the in-town offerings are taken advantage of, with individuals frequenting coffee shops, shopping at the mall, or attending outdoor summer activities in the Old Port. As with the other sites, activities are individually tailored, with attention paid to personal interests, sensory issues, and other identified needs.
