ARC PROVIDES RESIDENTIAL HABILITATION SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS WHO RESIDE IN OUR INDIVIDUALIZED RESIDENTIAL ALTERNATIVE (IRA)RESIDENCES. THIS SERVICE IS SEPARATE FROM THE ROOM AND BOARD PORTION OF THE IRA PROGRAM. THIS IS A DIRECT SERVICE THAT IS PROVIDED TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND ADDRESSES SKILLS ACQUISITION THROUGH TRAINING IN ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING (ADL), BUDGETING, HOME MANAGEMENT, SAFETY/SELFAWARENESS AND INDEPENDENT LIVING. THESE TRAININGS ARE INDIVIDUALIZED AND ARE BASED ON EACH PERSON'S NEEDS AND CAPABILITIES. THE GOAL OF IRA HABILITATION SERVICES IS TO ENABLE EACH INDIVIDUAL TO ACQUIRE THE NECESSARY SKILLS IN ORDER TO LIVE AN INDEPENDENT AND PRODUCTIVE LIFE AS POSSIBLE. ARC'S TRAINED DSP PROFESSIONALS WORK DIRECTLY WITH EACH INDIVIDUAL BASED ON THEIR RESIDENTIAL HABILITATION PLANS DERIVED FROM THE IDENTIFIED OUTCOMES IN THEIR INDIVIDUALIZED SERVICE PLANS (ISPS).

ARC PROVIDES CARE TO EIGHT INDIVIDUALS WHO RESIDE IN OUR INTERMEDIATE CARE FACILITY. THESE INDIVIDUALS REQUIRE A HIGHER LEVEL NEED THAN THOSE IN OUR IRA FACILITIES. THIS IS BECAUSE MOST OF THE ICF INDIVIDUALS FUNCTION AT SEVERE TO PROFOUND RANGE OF INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES AND REQUIRE A HIGHER STAFFING RATIO. MOST OF THE CONSUMERS ARE DEPENDENT ON STAFF FOR THE MAJORITY OF EVERYDAY ACTIVITIES INCLUDING BATHING, DRESSING, COOKING, TOOTHBRUSHING, AND AMBULATION. THE ICF ENCOMPASSES BOTH ROOM AND BOARD AS WELL AS HABILITATIVE TRAINING, MEDICAL, CLINICAL, AND ANY OTHER SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH COMMUNITY LIFE.
