About
The Institute for Human Resources and Services, Inc., has existed since 1975, serving people with intellectual disabilities. The IHRS serves approximately 78 clients and operates 23 Community Living Arrangements (“CLA”) and one Community Residential Rehabilitation home (“CRR”) in Luzerne County. Our program specialists and administrative staff possess years of experience in meeting the needs of our clients in comfortable residential-type settings. It is our ultimate goal to continue to meet the needs of those individuals entrusted to our care. Each CLA and CRR has a full complement of staff specifically tailored to meet the individual needs of each client. In 1995, the IHRS received an adoption license and has since affiliated itself with the StateWide Adoption Network (“SWAN”) program. As such, the IHRS is licensed to pursue an adoption to finalization. The IHRS also assists individuals in becoming certified foster parents through our foster care program. The IHRS also offers emergency placement and emergency respite services and operates a licensed foster care/adoptions and family services agency that services Luzerne, Lackawanna, and Monroe counties.
The IHRS has a proven record of providing quality care to individuals with intellectual disabilities. We are hopeful that we may continue to provide these services to the community for years to come.
