Since 1954, Berkshire County Arc has been providing residential services to adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities (IDD). The agency currently supports more than 125 people in community homes, cooperative and staffed apartments, supported living and home ownership throughout Berkshire and Hampden Counties.

People supported by Berkshire County Arc’s residential services enjoy full and active lives in both their homes and communities.

In their homes, people actively participate in the hiring and evaluation of staff. They can choose the furnishings and décor of their home They create menu choices and work on meal preparation. People help to select their daily routines and social and recreational activities. Staff members support and encourage individual choice and decision making.

In their communities, Berkshire County Arc staff members encourage each person to become as fully involved as they wish to be. Staff facilitate the identification and promotion of interests. Volunteer activities at locations such as senior center, the Humane Society, churches, fire departments, local and state police departments, and hospitals provide valuable opportunities to make a difference. Membership in local and statewide organizations, such as the YMCA, the public library, and political and advocacy organizations, enhance existing – and foster new – interests and friendships.
