At Citizens Options Unlimited, we empower people to live the lives they choose
We support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Nassau and Suffolk County, Long Island—working alongside families, staff, and the community to make every day a day of choice and connection.
Rooted in Community
We’re proud to partner with AHRC Nassau, a trusted leader in supporting people with developmental disabilities. Through this partnership, we’re connected to a broader network of services, resources, and community relationships—strengthening the support we provide to people and their families across Nassau and Suffolk County.
Person-Centered by Design
Our approach is simple: supports are built around the person—not the system.
We work with people and families to:
• Identify goals and interests
• Build meaningful life plans
• Connect to community and natural supports
• Adjust services as needs change
As a provider of residential and community-based supports, we take the time to understand each person’s needs, preferences, and goals—so the supports they receive truly fit their life.
Recognized for Doing It Right
Citizens Options Unlimited has earned Person-Centered Excellence Accreditation With Distinction from The Council on Quality and Leadership—the highest level of recognition awarded. CQL is an international organization that sets standards for person-centered services and quality of life outcomes. This distinction places us among a small group of organizations nationwide and reflects our commitment to delivering supports that are truly centered on each person—while also supporting our staff, families, and the communities we serve.
Let’s Work Together
Whether you’re a family member, someone exploring services, or a professional looking to make a difference, we’re here to partner with you.
