Developmental Centers

The Department of Human Services’ Division of Developmental Disabilities (Division) operates five developmental centers (centers) that serve individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Center residents have intensive needs related to their intellectual and developmental disabilities, and many also have co-occurring mental health, behavioral health and/or medical needs. The total cumulative census of all five centers is 1,051 as of December 2022.

In its ongoing effort to ensure that center residents, their families/guardians, visitors and staff are kept informed, the Department of Human Services’ Division of Developmental Disabilities has posted the Outbreak Response Plan (ORP) that each center adheres to. The ORP provides information on actions taken at the centers in circumstances where there is an outbreak of infectious disease (Ex. COVID-19, Influenza, etc.). Please take a moment to review this important document.

Please visit the web page for each individual center to find specific information about that location. If you have a question, please feel free to contact the Social Services Department of the center where the resident you are interested in resides.

Green Brook Regional Center (GRC) is the only specialized geriatric center among the five developmental centers administered by the Division of Developmental Disabilities. It provides residential treatment and habilitation services for men and women with intellectual and developmental disabilities 55 years of age and older.
