We're Here to Serve

Community Link is an innovative, important community resource for families and caregivers established by a small group of parents in Clinton County, Illinois over 40 years ago — a resource that helps families better manage the care of their loved ones. We serve clients in Bond, Clinton, Effingham, Jefferson, Jersey, Madison, Marion, Monroe, St. Clair and Washington Counties. We have residential facilities in Aviston, Breese, Carlyle, Germantown and Highland.

Community Link...

  • Offers multiple small group living homes in neighborhood settings
  • Provides sheltered employment, supported employment, and job placement programs

We're one of the largest Illinois providers of services for developmentally disabled individuals throughout their lifespan. We help them take full advantage of their abilities through learning, employment, and/or independent living.
