Placement in any Martha Lloyd residential program is based on an assessment of the individual’s strengths, needs, and desires. Compatibility is a prime concern, with each individual placed in a situation where social factors and functional levels are considered. The desires of family and individual are given the highest priority. Training focuses on the acquisition of skills to maximize the potential of each person. Our 18 homes are designed to allow for growth and progression to the highest skill level for each resident.

Community Homes

Individuals live in an attractive home in community settings (see locations). All have choices to participate in community activities – shopping, banking, dining, attending the church of their choice, etc. These opportunities are available to everyone who joins the Martha Lloyd family.

Recreation and Leisure

Activities are important to Martha Lloyd residents. And, they are abundant, given the advantages and opportunities available in this rural atmosphere with its healthy environment. They join the local townspeople in country fairs, festivals and other events. And, they participate in cultural events and programs in Troy, plus amusement parks and festivals in nearby communities. Community involvement is part of everyone’s program here at Martha Lloyd Community Services.
