Our agency was incorporated in 1972 under the name"Community Homes for Children." In the late 1980's the agency changed our name to "Nonotuck Resource Associates."
What is your primary product or service?
We provide residential care to individuals who need assistance to remain living in a home. We recruit, train, screen and supervise caregivers.

We provide ongoing case management by a team that includes a Program Director, Assistant Program Director, registered nurse and a clinical support staff.
