Our residential homes can house up to 45 individuals with autism, intellectual disorders, or developmental delays. Four of these homes are located on our Sicard Hollow campus and the fifth home is nearby. CRS is designed for our residents to attend, Allan Cott School, our on-campus school. The program operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The primary focus of our program is to enable our individuals to live life to their fullest potential.

Glenwood’s Sicard Hollow includes the following amenities for our residential homes: K-12 school, health services, cafeteria, sensory room, basic living skills room, lake, fishing pond, swimming pool, full size gymnasium, playground, and numerous hiking trails.

Each individual has an individualized person-centered plan of care that drives their treatment. These plans are unique to the individual and capture their wants, needs, abilities and preferences.  Through the individual’s eyes, we assist them in developing their skills and talents to reach their personal goals. Daily living instruction focuses on building important skills for social interactions and positive relationships, effective communication, community living, and self-care.
