Each resident has an individualized care plan encompassing areas including nutrition, exercise, vocational goals, medical and psychiatric needs, in-home supports, finances, and interpersonal goals. Our care plans are carefully developed with the resident, staff, and input from the family. Residents have a primary care coordinator working with them to establish and successfully implement the individualized care plan. Our 24 hour support staff is on site where staff assists with medication management and encourages participation in an abundance of social experiences. Residents receive assistance in menu planning, grocery shopping, and meal preparation as needed to maximize their potential and promote optimal functioning.

The Arc of Palm Beach County

The Arc operates four group homes located in typical residential communities throughout Palm Beach County. These houses, which look just like any other on their street, are designed to help adults over the age of 18 acquire the skills necessary to achieve their highest level of independence.

Each resident has a personal plan that identifies measurable, attainable goals, as well as strategies for achieving them. All four homes are staffed around the clock, however, during the day, every resident participates in a meaningful activity, including day programs or even competitive employment. Residents are also assigned common household chores, including keeping their rooms clean. In addition, the program provides rehabilitation services that offer supervised training activities to help residents acquire, maintain or improve upon skills related to daily living, such as personal hygiene, social skills necessary in order to enable individuals to reside in the community, and more.
