Health & Wellness Services
The Arc of San Francisco’s Heath and Wellness Services are designed to yield better health outcomes for at-risk clients who can benefit from ongoing monitoring, regular screenings and better fitness and education. Due to intellectual or cognitive impairments, many individuals with developmental disabilities cannot comprehend the need for health improvement or access proper treatment on their own. The resulting illnesses can accelerate the loss of whatever independence has been achieved.
Through Wellness Services, seniors and many other clients of The Arc and in the community get support to live healthier lives with the help of a dedicated health advocate, a part-time nurse, medical case management and healthy living classes.
Individual advocacy plans vary, but always include a balance of supports for achieving optimal wellness. In the current model, our Wellness Services focus on five areas:
- Health Screening and Advocacy
- Exercise and Fitness
- Nutrition Education
- Healthcare Education Outreach
- Life Transition Assistance
