The St. Louis Arc employs more than 500 full-time, part-time, and seasonal employees. These employees make a difference in the lives of more than 4,500 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. At the St. Louis Arc, we empower people to live their best life. That is our mission – not only to those we serve but also to those we employ. This mutually shared sense of purpose drives our decisions and actions. We are always looking for new people to join our circle. Today, we’d like to highlight our residential program and how staff support and empower individuals daily.

Supporting People at Dautel Circle

The Arc’s residential community, Dautel Circle, is a community of adults with disabilities who receive 24-hour support. Staff at this location ensure that all residents get the support they need by assisting them with daily living skills. Individuals are encouraged to maintain family and social connections and engage in their community with support from staff. Dautel Circle is located in Creve Coeur, Missouri, near the intersection of Olive and Craig Roads.

Members of our team at Dautel Circle foster residents’ independence and self-esteem. Staff assist four to six adults in a home with day-to-day life skills (e.g., hygiene, meal prep, dressing) and support them in their social and emotional well-being (e.g., outings and activities).
