Archway Programs Saturday Drop In Respite
Archway Programs has been providing Saturday Respite services to consumers with Developmental Disabilities since 2005.  The program is currently operating out of our beautiful campus in Atco, New Jersey.  The purpose of respite is to give the primary caregiver(s) some time away from caring for their family member with a Developmental Disability.  Primary caregivers provide transportation to and from the program which operates from 1pm to 5pm on most Saturdays.  When possible, one Saturday each month we have an extended day, usually from 10am to 5pm so caregivers can have an extended respite period.  Our consumers enjoy a wide variety of supervised recreation activities, including but not limited to swimming in one of our two pools on campus, fishing in our beautiful lake, observing and learning about the wide variety of wild life on campus, playing games and sports, enjoying arts and crafts, and much more.  We also take trips out about once a month and enjoy activities like amusement parks, movies, bowling, plays and more!  Staff provide supervision and support for consumers to be able to safely enjoy their choice of recreation activities.
