Who We Are:
Our Mission:
AHRC Nassau empowers people to live fulfilling lives together with family – friends and community.
A family-led organization and a Chapter of The Arc New York, AHRC Nassau has continually grown to meet the evolving needs of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and their families.
AHRC Nassau provides person-centered supports to over 2,200 people throughout Nassau County. Our organization partners with a family of organizations including Brookville Center for Children’s Services, Citizens Options Unlimited and Advantage Care Health Centers, so that together, we can provide a true continuum of services and supports across a person’s lifetime.
AHRC Nassau has been designated a COMPASS agency by New York State Office of People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD). As a COMPASS agency, we are recognized for our commitment to engaging all stakeholders in working together in a person-centered environment with the goal of promoting and achieving valued outcomes for the people we support. Of the more than 750 provider agencies in New York State, only four (4) are currently designated as a COMPASS agency.
AHRC Nassau, and partnering organization Citizens Options Unlimited, are the only two agencies
in New York State to achieve both COMPASS designation and
CQL’s Person-Centered Excellence Accreditation With Distinction.
AHRC has also been named as one of “America’s Best-In-State Employers” by Forbes alongside exceptional employers across New York State.
As the only disability agency featured, AHRC ranks 41st on a list of 88 top New York employers. Of the four Long Island-based organizations featured, AHRC (#41) was recognized beside Northwell Health (#33), Broadridge Financial (#48) and Adelphi University (#67).
