Creative Work Systems (CWS) provides residential support to approximately 100 people with disabilities throughout Southern Maine. Services are designed to maximize independence and customized for the individual. Residential Services range from 24-hour support to just a few hours each week, depending on each person’s specific needs.
Independent Living Services
Through Independent Living Services, support is provided at an individual’s request in their home and tailored to meet their needs. CWS can help with providing assistance preparing for work each day; planning leisure time and developing skills to connect with the community, relationship building, budgeting, accessing public transportation, and meal planning.
Supported Living
Through our Residential Services, we provide 24-hour support to individuals who may live in a home purchased by family, rented by the individual, rented by the agency, or owned by the agency. People in residential services require support with most daily living skills. Support is provided with household skills, personal care, and planning daily life activities. All people receiving services through CWS are active, contributing members of their communities, in whatever capacity they choose.
