Supportive Living

Designed to support residents with the highest level of independence, supportive living services partners with individuals as they become increasingly self-sufficient. The Arc of Essex County focuses on helping individuals find meaningful roles in their community and feel valued as community members. For added peace of mind, residents have access 24 hours a day to on-call staff to assist with any needs that may arise. Individuals are always at the core of the planning and implementation of services. Supportive living offers flexibility with a variety of ways to arrange services through the Community Care Program (CCP) or the Supports Program (SP).

Living Support

The goal of all of our programs is to equip each individual to function in the most independent manner possible. Arc staff focus on teaching residents the skills they want to learn, in areas that they choose, which may include recreation, social opportunities, personal care, cooking, and housekeeping. Each resident is assisted in the development of their annual Individual Service Plan, and staff ensure that outcomes and strategies outlined in the plan are met.

Medical Management

The health and safety of our residents is paramount. All staff undergo rigorous training including CPR and first aid. The agency nursing staff along with The Arc’s clinical team are available for individuals with complex medical, behavioral, or other challenges. Additionally each home has access to 24/7 telemedicine services via StationMD.

Communication

Regular communication with the family of each resident is transparent, open, and timely.  We value the participation of our resident’s relatives and friends as we plan for the future needs of their loved ones. We always put the needs and choices of each resident first, making sure that family members and friends remain involved, advocating, planning, and supporting future goals and aspirations.

Social Life

Residents are involved in a variety of fun and engaging activities as a regular part of their day. Popular activities include backyard barbecues, birthday celebrations, attendance at houses of worship, and trips to the supermarket, mall, movie theatre, and local coffee shop. Residents are also encouraged to pursue individual interests and hobbies at home and in the community.
