The
Coastal Workshop now owns or operates eight residential
facilities in Camden, Rockport, Hope, Rockland,
Owls Head, and Thomaston. Each home or apartment
complex has a different focus, with services based
on the needs of the residents. |
|
| |
|
The
Shirley Drinkwater Home, a duplex home
located in Rockport, offers a structured setting
for up to five residents. With staff support and
guidance, these residents are responsible for
the operation of their home, doing their own cooking,
cleaning, laundry, and household errands. During
leisure hours, residents enjoy picnics, hikes,
dancing, bowling, movies, community events, and
arts and crafts projects. |
 |
 |
| The
Katherine Brown Home, located in Hope,
provides intensive services to eight individuals
with mental retardation and/or autism. The home
was specifically designed to be occupied by people
who use a wheelchair. Eight residents work on
improving or maintaining acquired skills to communicate
with others, care for themselves, ambulate, and
do simple tasks independently. Residents are encouraged
to make choices in activities each day. |
|
|
 |
The
Annette Overlock Home, located in Owls
Head, provides developmentally disabled adults
the opportunity to achieve independence in the
least restrictive residential environment. The
home encourages each of the four residents to
develop skills that focus on daily tasks such
as planning menus, shopping, meal preparation,
caring for themselves and their home, and learning
social skills by interacting with each other and
with the community in which they live. The home
opened in the fall of 1999. |

|
 |
| The
Vera Brandes Home is located on Main
Street in Thomaston and offers the residents a
homelike atmosphere, private bedrooms, and the
convenience of being within walking distance of
town. While living in a supported group setting,
six adults with mental retardation learn and use
the skills that are necessary to live more independently. |
|
|
 |
| The
Jenkins Home, a modern residence located
on Rankin Street in Rockland, adjacent to the
George Robishaw Home, was opened in 2006. It has
mirror-image duplex apartments that accommodate
two residents on each side. As with the other
group homes, full-time staff support is provided,
and the residents are transported each day to
the Coastal Workshop in Camden. |

Julia Spear Payne Apartments are located
at 33 Limerock Street in Camden. Three apartments
at this site provide housing for three adults
with mental retardation and one person sympathetic

The
Elm Street Apartments, located on Elm
Street in Camden, provide housing to three adults
with mental retardation who need minimal support
to live independently. There are four apartments
at this site: three for clients of the Coastal
Workshop and one for a person sympathetic to the
needs of the residents. Residents receive assistance
