Our Homes

The AHRC Community Residence Program creates a family-like environment for the men and women who live in our homes. With the help of dedicated live-in houseparents, we can maximize each individual's dignity, self worth, and independence. Suffolk AHRC currently operates more than 25 homes in residential communities throughout the county. Two to nine adults live in each AHRC community residence (CR) and IRA. With the help of agency professionals, they work together and form their own new family and support systems. The men and women who live in our CRs (also known as IRA's) value their adult independence, and respond to it with increased responsibility and raised self-esteem. Our community residence program maintains and enhances the skills and abilities of its residents, giving them an opportunity to shop, partake in leisure activities, and become part of their community. CR Houseparents are assisted by a weekend relief staff and peak hour support staff so that each resident's individual needs can be met. Community Residences are located in: Bay Shore Bellport Bohemia Central Islip Commack Coram Dix Hills East Islip Greenport Holbrook Huntington Manorville Medford Oakdale Patchogue Ridge Riverhead Southold Westhampton Westhampton Beach Yaphank Related Services Individuals living in our CRs benefit from social workers and service coordinators who help with all of their programmatic, living, and social needs. Residents also receive all related services to which they are entitled through their AHRC day program.
