Community Living of Rhode Island

Community Living of Rhode Island CLRI is a dynamic agency dedicated to supporting individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities .

We celebrate personal uniqueness and cultural diversity, offering personalized assistance that builds on individual strengths and abilities. Community Living of Rhode Island Inc., (CLRI) was founded in October 2001 by Chairman & CEO Joseph Onyejose, with his wife, President & CEO Mary Onyejose. With a combined two decades plus of working experiences in the State of Massachusetts with the adult population with developmental disabilities, we developed interest in serving a more diverse population of individuals with diverse abilities. In Massachusetts we spent several years supporting so many DMR and DMH Agencies with dependable staffing by utilizing our Staffing Agency that was formed in 1997. Our journey was born out of passion for humanity. When we relocated to Rhode Island in 1999, our burning desire to serve individuals with disabilities brought us in contact with Rhode Island Department of Mental Health Retardation and Hospitals (MHRH), now named the Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilites, and Hospitals (BHDDH), that led the establishment of Community Living of Rhode Island, Inc. Since our formation, CLRI has become a beacon of support and opportunity for parents and family members of individuals with Developmental and Intellectual disabilities in addition to those with behavioral health needs. Our unique approach to support provision has brought peace of mind to many families, and full participation and community integration to the individuals we support. We accomplish these excellent supports through creativity, resourcefulness, commitment, and the “milk of human kindness.”

Day 2 in Cape Cod 🌊☀️
What an amazing day! We started the morning at the beach, followed by a nice walk after breakfast. Everyone enjoyed searching for unique seashells to bring home as souvenirs. 🐚

After lunch, we visited the breathtaking Private Cove and later had a blast playing mini golf, it was filled with laughs and lots of fun! ⛳

This trip has truly been such a wonderful experience for everyone. We are so grateful our folks had the opportunity to travel, explore, and enjoy the beauty of Cape Cod together. ❤️

✨ Day 1 of our Cape Cod trip has been nothing short of amazing! ✨

We made it safely, and upon arriving at our resort, the excitement was through the roof. For some, this was their very first travel experience, and for others with travel adventures under their belt, it was a much-welcomed and restful getaway. 💙

We can’t wait to see what Day 2 has in store! A huge thank you to our CLRI families for your love and support, we look forward to sharing more special moments with you throughout the week! 🌊🏖️
