Founded in 1959, in Middletown, New York by the Isaacs Family, Crystal Run Village first operated as a summer camp and then as a private residential school for developmentally disabled children. Today, Crystal Run Village, Inc. programs serve more than 700 people with developmental and psychological disabilities and their families, in three counties in New York’s Mid-Hudson and Catskill regions. Crystal Run Village, Inc. with an operating budget of $37-million, employs approximately 850 employees to carry out its mission of providing services for the integration and empowerment of people with disabilities.

Expansion of Crystal Run Village began soon after the 1972 expose of the unacceptable living conditions that people with disabilities were faced with at institutions like Willowbrook. The Isaacs purchased and renovated a former Catskill resort, the Flagler Hotel in Fallsburg, in anticipation of the deinstitutionalization of people with developmental disabilities.
