People’s Arc offers adults with disabilities a variety of services and opportunities with varying degrees of structure and support.
Adults aging from young adults to senior citizens are offered opportunities in all areas of life including day options, work opportunities, residential services, weekend and residential respite options, and many additional services and supports that will assist them in overcoming barriers to reaching their full potential.
Adult Day Habilitation
People’s Arc of Suffolk’s Day Habilitation Program provides people with the necessary services and supports to pursue their personal interests, learn valuable life skills and attain their goals.
People’s Arc aims to assimilate the individuals served in our Day Habilitation Programs into their local communities. Staff members set up and accompany day trips, volunteer projects at many Long Island-based charities, and work directly with select individuals to help them attain employment through People’s Arc of Suffolk’s Vocational and Supported Work Programs.

Meet Evelyn! She has been attending People’s ARC since 1997 and attends the Lakeland Site-based Day Habilitation program.
“I started at Lakeland Day Habilitation on May 20, 2024. I enjoy coming here and learning. I especially enjoy doing my math. I enjoy going out into the community on trips, especially going to the mall and volunteering at the Giving Dolls.
The staff here are very nice and friendly to me, and I have made lots of friends. I love the special events we have here in the building, especially when the Elvis impersonator comes.”
Meet Francisco! He is new to People’s Arc and attends our Northport Program Without Walls.
“The staff are passionate about the people. All the classes are excellent, but my #1 class is ARC TV, where we make different videos. The overall quality of this program stands out above all other programs I’ve attended.”

Senior Day Habilitation
People’s Arc of Suffolk’s Senior Day Habilitation provides meaningful and functional activities for older people who need a change of pace.
Most individuals served in our Senior Day Habilitation Program have “retired” from other traditional services. The support provided to our seniors at People’s Arc focuses on assisting a person to maintain their independence, productivity, and purpose.
To keep the program fun and engaging, seniors choose from a list of activities each day including arts and crafts, bingo, golf, and a vast array of community activities and local events.

Program Without Walls
Program Without Walls (PWW) is a community-based program for people ages 21 years and older with developmental disabilities. People enrolled in PWW learn new skills, build relationships, and develop self-esteem through volunteerism. Direct Support Staff assists people in volunteer and recreational activities at various art galleries, parks, department stores, museums, restaurants, fitness clubs, and with local community partners and organizations.
For some people participating in Program Without Walls, these opportunities to engage with community members and enhance their skills have sparked an interest in seeking additional employment services.
