Residential Programs
In
order to promote
independent living, MARC offers residential programs that are not only
designed to support the individual needs of persons who live there but
comply with their preferences as well. Our goal is to help our people
live with comfort and dignity in community settings with whatever support
they need.
Self-respect and quality of life go hand-in-hand in achieving this goal.
MARC
manages group homes to help individuals establish themselves in a neighborhood
setting. Participants attend to the physical upkeep of their homes, with
support, as needed, from full-time staff. They enjoy mainstream living:
shopping, banking, planning for vacations, cultivating friendships and
fully participating in the community.
--Networking and friendships build within
the surrounding community, promoted by special events and church groups.
This is truly a family atmosphere that not only enhances quality of living,
it promotes much needed understanding as well.
The Supported Living
program makes possible even more opportunities for individual choice and
self-development. Through the support of our dedicated staff, participants
are enabled to live in the community in their own apartments, with or
without roommates. They can rely on help when it comes to managing bills,
shopping, meal planning, and regular monitoring for their needs.
Thanks to the progressive
efforts of public policy makers, MARC has made this part of the
American Dream available to people with disabilities since 1933. Through
our support team, we provide accommodations designed to overcome barriers
that might otherwise seem insurmountable.
