Residential Living

The Arc of Atlantic County residential services support adults living in the community.   Our focus is on ensuring that people live where they want in an environment that supports their health, safety, social life and family and community contacts.   All people who live in one of our residential programs must have received eligibility through the New Jersey Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD).

As our agency has grown, so have the options for residential living.   Today, The Arc supports approximately 50 people in nine group homes, 42 people in 25 supervised apartments as well as individuals through our supportive and independent living programs.   All of our residential properties are fully licensed by the Division of Developmental Disabilities.

Group Homes

We have nine group homes throughout Atlantic County.   All are staffed 24-hours a day, 7 days a week with qualified and dedicated Arc employees.   Every home has between three and six residents.   CLICK HERE for more information on our Group Homes

Supervised Apartments

We have 25 apartments in five separate apartment complexes in Atlantic County.   Typically two individuals share an apartment.   Staff are on site in each complex 24-hour a day, 7 days a week and provide support based on individuals' needs.   Individuals have an added degree of independence in this program.
