Residential Services
Since 1984, Crotched Mountain has been offering residential and day supports for adults and children with disabilities living in southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts. Our vision is to provide supports and services in a manner that makes dignity, respect, and the right to make choices and determine one's future the highest priority. We support people who wish to take risks that lead to growth and to the fullest experience possible in the various domains of life – home, work, recreation, healthy relationships, the pursuit of spiritual needs and the right to dream.
Choice of Services
We develop our residential and day services around the unique needs and interests of each individual. Every day is an opportunity to grow as a person, learn new skills and experience different aspects of home and community life. With staff support, individuals develop skills in areas such as self-care, communication, socialization, relationship building, problem solving, as well as money and medication management. They also participate in community and recreational activities with friends, family and Crotched Mountain staff members.
