Welcome to Creative Works

At Creative Works, we build communities of inclusion one relationship, one experience, and one person at a time. We believe in creating opportunities for people to contribute to their communities, to pursue their potential and to be treated with dignity and respect.

As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that supports individuals with disabilities throughout southern and central Maine, Creative Works is especially proud of our own community of dynamic, richly talented and engaged staff who dedicate their lives to serving others.

Creative Works maintains national accreditation through a rigorous review process conducted by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitative Facilities (CARF) and also undergoes biennial state licensing reviews.

Since 1990, Creative Works has received the highest level of three-year accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), an international body that sets standards for exceptional, person-centered care. Creative Works deeply values the validation that CARF accreditation awards and we continually strive to deliver consistently outstanding supports that meet these high standards.

Maintaining this high level of CARF accreditation is a distinction that sets us apart from many other human services providers. We are proud that the extensive review of our standards of care, transparency, emphasis on human rights and dignity, and ethical practices consistently achieves three-year accreditation.
