ARA has provided supportive and assisted living services for individuals for over 30 years always working under the philosophy of helping each person reach their highest level of independence and quality of life. We believe that the best way to attain these goals is by creating the most home-like and least restrictive environment possible for each person. We feel that frequent community integration is of utmost importance. The ability to have choice in every aspect of their life including what their schedule looks like, when they eat, where they go, what they do for recreation, and what their life goals are is the basis for success. We are here to support each individual in living the life they want in the way they want to live it.
Our philosophy is driven by our core values of Respect, Compassion, Excellence, Stewardship, and centers around the wishes of our participants.
Participants choose the daily routines and services they wish to receive, and, as a result, are able to maintain their independence, privacy and dignity. We support person directed, choice driven care.
Each human being is valuable and unique. We celebrate the diversity of customs, beliefs and values that each individual brings to our community.
We strive to provide an atmosphere that is home in the truest sense of the word.
We nurture the quality of everyday life through attention to personalized care and experiences.
Bonds between team members and participants are nurtured as an essential element of our person directed care philosophy. We care deeply about each other, we support each other and we grow together.
Life includes intellectual, physical, social and spiritual opportunities for all. We are committed to self-advocacy and empowerment for each individual.
Individual growth potential has no bounds. We will provide an environment, opportunities and tools to support each person in meeting their growth goals.
We support and encourage an engaging environment through life experiences that enhance individual life.
