CARIDAD II

HOME

 

HISTORY

 

CARIDAD II opened on April 1, 1999 as a result of a need for a placement for a blind adult with multiple disabilities whose parents had passed away and had been staying at a shelter for months before his attorney obtained a court order to place him at a less restrictive home environment.  DISID contracted out the service to CSS since then.
