Great Bay Services

Great Bay Services offers a wide selection of programs designed so every individual we serve can revel in each new skill they learn, each new activity they participate in, and each new opportunity to grow. Our goal is to promote increased awareness and skill levels in health, the arts, volunteerism, career development, technology, community participation, and other important life skills. We believe in the complete participation of people with intellectual disabilities in society, and are committed to growth and opportunity through mutual respect.

Community Participation Services (CPS) COVID update

We were alerted on December 2 that a staff member in our Community Supports (Maine day program) had tested positive for COVID-19. We're happy to report that our staff member and family are making a healthy recovery and there were no transmissions to any clients or other staff. We feel that the lack of transmission was, in part, due to the safety precautions we have in place.
We are working on slowly reopening our live 1:1 community supports in Maine, but want to do it in a cautious and safe approach to keep members, staff and all of their families safe during the holiday season. Zoom programs continue. This did not impact employment supports, case management, independent living programs or our New Hampshire operations. Our priority remains – as it has been throughout this crisis – the health and safety of our community, including our staff and program participants, as well as their loved ones.

Maximizing Independence

For six decades, we’ve supported individuals with intellectual disabilities, their families, and those who care for them. Having been founded by a group of caring parents, we’d like nothing better than to have the chance to work with your family.

Community Involvement

We believe in lifelong learning and enrichment, and have developed fun, innovative community support programs to foster that ideal.

Advocacy

We help families navigate the Developmental Services system so your loved one can live a meaningful, self-directed life.

for individuals with intellectual disabilities in all aspects of finding, securing, and maintaining a job in the community.
