Casa, Inc.

2021 Goals

  • Day Treatment Expansion — Casa supports children through certified Behavioral Health Professionals - one-on-one, in public schools, and under supervision of Master’s-Level Clinicians. Our work primarily in Portland Schools has been remarkably successful. We encourage parents and educators to call (207) 879-6165 for more information on helping children access their education to the fullest extent.
  • Vehicle Procurement — Transportation is at the heart of many of our services. As you know, a full and healthy life involves getting to healthcare appointments, social functions, shopping, family visits, nights on the town, and sometimes, just grabbing an ice cream. As our client base grows, so does our need for reliable transportation. Casa looks to obtain vehicles, both handicap-accessible and not, to expand our capacity around socialization, community integration, and provision of healthcare.

Fundraising Events/Opportunities

  • 2021 Casa Charity Classic — Our 13th Annual event, scheduled for August 2, 2021 at Falmouth Country Club, is our largest fundraiser. Join us and leaders from the healthcare, banking and insurance sectors for a day of good golf, great food, and exceptional support for Casa and those we serve. Email golf@casamaine.org for more information.
  • Kippie’s 5K — This growing event honors a dear resident who passed, and his parents who remain some of our most beloved friends and supporters. Whether you’re looking to log a time on a flat, well-marked course, or just want some laughs and exercise on a Saturday morning, this 5K is for you. The 2021 date is TBD and may be a virtual or combination event.

Who We Are

Casa has served children and adults in Southern Maine since 1979. Our expertise has always been supporting individuals who are both medically fragile and who have other cognitive disabilities.

  • Intermediate Nursing Facility — Casa’s first home was an 8-bed facility for children in Maine institutions needing to return to neighborhood settings where they originally resided. Today, a state-of-the-art, 16-bed home on the same Scarborough parcel continues to provide exceptional warmth and opportunity for our most medically fragile.
  • Adult Residential Care — With several homes in Greater Portland, Casa excels at providing small group settings that promote growth and independence. Our model emphasizes community integration and personal growth.
  • In-Home Support Services — Casa supports adults in their private homes for an ideal blend of care and independence. Often, this arrangement allows them to remain with family, while still receiving crucial services.
  • Mental Health Services — Under the guidance of Master’s-Level Clinicians, Casa offers outpatient counseling, home- and community-based treatment, and serves as a trusted resource under 211 for the State.
  • In-School Support Services — Casa is proud to support children one-on-one in school settings to help them fully access their education.
