New Leadership for Group Home

ARC of Maui County News Release

The ARC of Maui County Board of Directors is pleased to announce Robert Lane as the organization’s new Chief Executive Officer.  He joins ARC with a vast knowledge of the developmental disabilities community with experience ranging from Executive Director for Special Need Camps to Administrator of a 64 bed ICF/IDD facility in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Rob joins ARC at an exciting time with the recent licensing from the State Department of Health for our newest group home on Molokai.  This five bedroom home is the first state licensed domiciliary home on the island.  Residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities will receive 24-hour support from staff who are trained to meet the needs of each individual resident.  ARC will also assist with personal care, medical/health needs, meal preparation, chores, recreation and transportation. Our goal is to build on skills to promote each individual to reach his/her highest level of independence.  Socialization and integration in the community are part of everyday activities.

ARC will soon add another state licensed domiciliary home on Maui in Waiehu.  This will be ARC’s fifth home on Maui; two located in Kahului, one in Kihei and one in Napili.  The new home is wheelchair accessible and will provide 24-hour support from trained staff for three developmentally disabled residents.  It is also an additional location for another Adult Day Health Program as well as vocational and gardening/ aquaponic programs.

For more information about our services or interest in the group home on Molokai, please contact Suzie Holtzman at 808-558-0408 or Valerie Sly on Maui at 808-242-5781 x211.
