On Saturday, September 21 DPR Construction celebrated their company's birthday by having a group of almost 30 volunteers spend their Saturday making many improvements to the backyard at 88 Vernon. These wonderful individuals built a new fence, planted new plants, replaced grass with low-maintenance wood chips, trimmed overgrown trees, sanded and painted a large wooden bench, reconstructed walkways, and installed solar-powered lights all in one day.

Clausen House would like to thank DPR Construction for volunteering and providing such a wonderful space for our clients to enjoy.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Did you know adults with developmental disabilities are living longer, healthier, more meaningful lives? Within the past seven years, advancements in medicine and public policy changes, along with a societal push for inclusion, have provided physicians with an opportunity to play a pivotal role in promoting, managing, and delivering care that supports a high quality of life for older adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). With that being said, we would like to invite you all to join us on October 26th 2019, around Lake Merritt for our “Walk to Independence”!! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💪📍There will be food, refreshments, a raffle, and much more!
