The Cedars of Marin assists adults with developmental disabilities in developing and/or maintaining the ability to participate with a maximum of independence in the community. The Cedars main campus is a short walk from the center of town where Cedars residents safely go on errands, for fun, or to visit local community members. Some residents of The Cedars of Marin choose to live in smaller, group home settings. They function in a group of five or six members and interact with a house manager who helps each resident to be as self-sufficient as possible. Other components of our program include adaptive home living skills, creative crafts, functional academics and job training.
