CLS

 CALMRA serves adults, age 18 years or older, with cognitive disabilities in Prince George’s and Montgomery County, Maryland. Many of the individuals we serve also have
physical disabilities. These individuals require 24-hour assistance in all areas of living; eating, bathing, dressing, transportation, etc. Individuals
live with one or two housemates and receive support from trained, paid, and caring staff. We also serve those who choose to live in their own homes but
need some support from staff through our Personal Supports program. CALMRA also operates a Senior Center in Laurel, MD to provide day services to seniors or
those with age-related disabilities, cognitive disabilities, and/or physical disabilities. Benefits offered (depending on position and hours worked) include Vacation, Personal and Sick leave; Health, Dental, Vision and Life insurance; a 403B Retirement Savings Plan with matching contributions; 13 paid holidays annually; an Employee Assistance Program and Paid trainings. If you love working with people and want a career, not just a job - we would love to talk to you about the possibilities of joining our CALMRA family!
