What People Are Saying

Tanesha C.

Team Member since 2016

The Arc means growth to me. It amazes me when I look back and see how the company has grown. As an individual, the Arc has taught me to be patient and to give genuine love. It’s hard not to love something when you are shown love. The consumers that I work with shows me affection, and express so much how they appreciate everything I do for them. The Arc also shows me appreciation when I do well. I feel like I have become a completely different person since joining this amazing team The Arc of Putnam.

The Arc means everything to me. It helps me learn to be on my own. I have been to places I've never been before. I feel like I am loved by the Arc.

Linda S.

Arc Family

My brother has received services from the ARC of Putman County since the early 1990s. Since then, he has required increasing levels of care as he has aged, including various medical issues. The ARC has provided a high level of care and concern for his welfare over the years, and though I live a distance away, they keep me informed and notify me of any issues he has. I am so thankful that he has been able to age in place with staff he feels comfortable with.
