Description:
The Arc of Burlington County is a non-profit organization founded in 1956 by a group of parents who realized how few services were available for their children with developmental disabilities and decided to do something about it. They formed the Burlington County Unit for Retarded Children, which later became The Burlington County Unit of the New Jersey Association for Retarded Citizens, and, in 1998, officially, The Arc of Burlington County.
Our goal is to help improve the quality of life for individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities, as well as their families. To that end, we presently offer a wide range of services that include 11 community residential homes and apartments for adults, five adult day care programs, and an extensive recreation program open to adults throughout Burlington County with developmental disabilities. We have recently added the Community Based Supports Services through which we provide staff to work with individuals and families who live in the community but need assistance with life skills, money management, shopping, medical appointments, and a range of other activities, while still maintaining independence in their own homes. Call us at 856-764-9494 if we can assist you with any of these programs.
