On-Site Nurse
Many of The Arc’s seniors face the challenges of chronic illness, reduced mobility, special dietary needs and other health issues. The Senior Services staff nurse visits monitors the health of senior clients and keeps caregivers and family members up-to-date on health conditions.
Health and Wellness Services
Many of The Arc’s seniors are enrolled in our Health & Wellness Services where advocates assist clients in achieving optimal health. Through ongoing monitoring, regular screenings, support at doctor appointments and nutritional education, clients get support to improve their health and improve their quality of life.
