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 22 homes are designed to allow for growth and progression to the highest skill level for each resident.

Individuals live in an attractive home, either on the Martha Lloyd campus or in the surrounding communities. 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 cities, while making trips to enjoy New York City shows, sites and entertainment.

Residential staff provide a caring, supportive, home-like atmosphere at each residence. Consistency and harmony within each home is part of the philosophy we hold at Martha Lloyd. Staff turnover is consistently lower than industry standards, and currently stands at less than 10%.

This is Martha Lloyd Community Services, “Where Family Matters.” For over 75 years, we have provided choices and lifestyles for persons with developmental disabilities, in a loving, safe and secure community.
