Community Care Services, Inc.
Celebrated its new subsidiary, Eagle
Community Care Estates, which was
developed in Fall River to provide affordable
housing for the region’s lowincome
and homeless residents. Eight
of the 17 units hold a preference for
military veterans. Nine other units
give preference to the city’s residents,
homeless families, households with at
least one member who will benefit
from supportive services, and households
that would benefit from handicapped-
accessible features.
Additionally, CCS, led by President/
CEO Thomas L. Fisher, was recently
awarded accreditation by the
Council on Accreditation (COA). For
Taunton-based CCS, the COA accreditation
highlights the organization’s
commitment to maintain the highest
level of standards and quality improvement
for delivering superior
quality services.
