EXPERIENCE A
FULL LIFE
Liberty Resources operates several Supervised Community Living, also known as Individual Residential Alternatives (IRAs), and Supported Community Living to individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities throughout Onondaga and Madison counties. Emphasis is on creating an environment that encourages the individuals to experience a full life. All individuals create goals for themselves based on their unique desired outcomes, as expressed during their bi-annual Life Plan meeting. Our Community Living programs are designed to prepare people for more independent living.
