PARENTS SHOW APPRECIATION TO DSPS AT AHRC NASSAU THE ARC OTSEGO BRINGS TREATS & ASSISTANCE TO ON-DUTY DSPS DIRECT SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION WEEK

The Broderick Family, parents of an individual who receives supports and services from AHRC Nassau, had kind words of appreciation to share with the DSPs that work in their loved one's home. “Anyone who knows me and is connected to AHRC (and some who are not) know that my tagline is: working with the special needs population is a calling, not a job. Being a part of AHRC over these last 20 or so years, that maxim has never changed. The staff that work tirelessly, both in the residences and the day hab programs, have demonstrated time and again that the value of a human being cannot be measured by anything other than how they treat others. So, thank you to the DSPs and all who work to keep our ladies and gentlemen of AHRC safe, cared for, and loved."

Members of The Arc Otsego's Employee Engagement and Administrative Team visited every agency location during DSP Week to bring lunch bags and treats to staff. Some staff helped out in house kitchens or laundry rooms, caught up with individuals and coworkers across sites, and even hopped on the line at Creekside Industries to see what tasks staff are responsible for in manufacturing and shipping every day.
