Providing opportunities for adults with intellectual disabilities to build skills and gain independence
What Are The Benefits of Residential Services?
MRI’s Community Integrated Living Arrangements (CILA) and intermittent CILA programs support adults with intellectual disabilities in their own homes or apartments. Through person‑centered planning, we help individuals build independence in daily living, decision‑making, and community involvement. Our residential services emphasize choice, dignity, and the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe environment.
CILA Support includes:
Medical appointments and medication review
Money management
Social skills and leisure activities
Grocery shopping and nutrition support
Personal shopping
Laundry and housekeeping assistance
Transportation
Counseling
Community orientation
Crisis intervention
Full Time Living Services
MRI owns and operates nine group homes in the Decatur area; four to eight people live in each home with full-time daily support staff. These homes are called Community Integrated Living Arrangements.
People with intellectual disabilities build independent living skills like room care, personal care, social skills, and community integration with the help of our CILA staff. Each person’s unique needs are met through family-style dining, personalized rooms and individualized services.
Intermittent Living Services
MRI offers Intermittent Community Integrated Living Arrangement (ICILA) Services to assist people who live independently in the community, whether it be with family or in their own homes or apartments.
MRI intermittent CILA meets the needs of clients by helping in areas such as medical appointments, money management, grocery shopping, laundry and housekeeping training, personal shopping, and accessing community services.
