Arc has 23 certified residential options across Onondaga County, with a diverse range of supports. Our Residential program offers two types of living environments: Supervised and Supportive Individualized Residential Alternatives (IRAs). Staff in supervised IRAs provide 24-hour staff support and oversight. Supportive IRAs are a more independent setting, with staffing provided based on the needs of the person. Residential supports may include meal planning and preparation, budgeting, maintaining health and wellness, acquiring and use of community resources, and participating in social community activities. Both settings provide support and development for people in many areas, including residential habilitation, skill enhancement, recreational opportunities, medical oversight, and advocacy. Services provided by staff are individualized based on the person’s preferences, goals, and dreams.
