Narrative

The Arc of Opportunity’s Shared Living residential program pairs adults with disabilities with non-family members. Caregivers have the want, ability, and needed room in their home. They can support a person as a Home Care Provider.

The staff at The Arc look at both the person's and the Home Care Provider's goals, personal choices, lifestyle, and needs. We create a setting that respects both parties. We will promote a setting of comfort, growth, and independence.
