About Cedar Lake Residences

Find out what we can do for you.

In the late 1980s, when community integration was not being practiced, Cedar Lake Residences, (CLR) became a leader in assisting persons with intellectual to mainstream into the community. CLR offers a variety of community-based residential housing and support services to more than 100 clients. CLR's options include 24-hour staffed residences and group home, transitional living, in-home services, supported living apartments and HUD housing. CLR properties (single-family and patio homes, as well as apartments) are located in Jefferson, Oldham and Henry counties.

In late 2006, the adult day health program moved from the Lodge to a community facility nearby in LaGrange, and became a part of CLR. Currently, more than 50 active clients are served at the Cedar Lake Enrichment Center.
