THE ARC LEXINGTON NY
THE ARC LEXINGTON NY in Fulton County and Schoharie Arc in Schoharie County merged in 2020 to become one organization known as The Arc Lexington NY. Schoharie County helps the people we support to live their best lives, pursue goals and aspirations, and live more independently. Lexington provides services and supports in Fulton, Albany, and Schoharie Counties to approximately 1,300 children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism, mental illness, cerebral palsy, physical disabilities, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injuries.
Lexington’s person-first approach puts the emphasis on each individual’s needs, wants, and desires rather than their disability. From how we structure program activities to the language we use at our agency, we are committed to fostering an environment where the people we support are not only respected and valued, but also play an integral role in Lexington’s day-to-day operations. Lexington continues to expand and diversify while remaining deeply committed to its core values and mission of excellence.

FEEL BETTER. LIVE BETTER.
Helios Care helps people who have serious illness to physically “Feel Better.” Because they “Feel Better” physically, they “Live Better” on every other level. This helps families and loved ones to “Feel Better” and “Live Better,” too. Hospice also helps children, teens, and adults who are missing their loved ones to “Feel Better” with a variety of grief support services.
Cancer patients are a small percentage of those benefiting from hospice care as those with heart, lung, kidney, or dementia among other illnesses make up the majority of those who “Feel Better” and “Live Better” that are cared for by Helios Care.
Anyone can make a referral or inquire about hospice and palliative services. Serving Schoharie, Otsego, and Delaware Counties, Helios Care can be reached at 607-432-5525 or helioscare.org.
