About New England Residential Services

Our mission is to support people at home and at work, so that they may participate in and contribute to
their community.

New England Residential Services was established in CT in 1987, and the main office is located in
Middletown, CT.  The agency was invited to begin operations here when the Department of
Developmental Services (formerly DMR) was under a court order to empty and close large CT
institutions.

  • The people we accepted into New England Residential Services' first six (6) group homes were
    from Mansfield Training School, Southbury Training School, New Haven Regional Center and
    Seaside Regional Center.  Many of them had already been rejected by other agencies who were
    not equipped to deal with either the level of retardation or the behavioral challenges that were
    exhibited.
  • New England Residential Services believes in quality, person centered supports and train our
    staff to value and respect the individuals we support.
