A few years ago, Clearbrook expanded into Crystal Lake to help meet the needs of the communities surrounding McHenry County. Programs and services such as home-based, community day programs, residential, vocational and respite are offered. The goal of these programs is to help individuals be as successful as possible in their home and community.

As a response to tremendous growth in the region, Clearbrook wanted to establish an official name for the locations, programs, and services offered in the McHenry County area. Formerly known as Clearbrook McHenry, Clearbrook West, the new name, reflects all areas served in the surrounding communities.

Recently, Clearbrook went through a brand refresh and Clearbrook West was able to receive its own iteration of the Clearbrook logo to further reflect their growth in the area. The new logo will help build brand awareness with those in the region, while still being able to distinguish the connection with Clearbrook.

Clearbrook West services offered include, but are not limited to:

CHOICE is a day program that allows individuals to choose their own areas of interest while utilizing community-based opportunities for employment, volunteering, socializing and leisure activities.

CILA, or Community Integrated Living Arrangements, in McHenry County for men and women. We have three CILAs in the area with 24-hour support each with 6 individuals. For our individuals who live in a CILA, we strive to offer opportunities for them to be as independent as possible in their home and community.

Home-based services. We offer a variety of services to eligible individuals in McHenry County and the surrounding communities. Support services include educational, transitional, in-home staff, clinical, and supportive housing.

Annually, Clearbrook West supports over 200 individuals, as well as their families, in over 39 communities, seven counties, and six locations.
