Residential Services
Warm, inviting homes with exceptional care
Our Services
Residential Services create a home environment based on individual choices about daily living, therapy, therapeutic recreation, health services and recreational opportunities. Living Well owns and operates 37 welcoming homes across the Twin Cities areas in 22 communities.
Our homes are warm, inviting, spacious and reflect a common theme throughout the entire organization of exceptional quality of care. The homes are customized to serve adults with intellectual, developmental and physical disabilities.
Our staff of experienced Direct Support Professionals help each person we serve to achieve their highest level of independence and dignity. We strive to create a home environment based on individual choices. People at our homes thrive with 24/7 expert staff focused on wellness and person-centered care.
Choices
Our services are centered around personal choice, meaning the people we serve get to be architects of their personal environments. Choosing little details about everything from the colors of the bedspread and curtains, choosing flowers to be planted in the garden, and opportunities to try new activities in the community can be empowering. We believe that feeling comfortable is one key to continued success.
Daily Living Supports
These include activities that enhance decision-making skills, develop sensory and motor skills, and strengthen interpersonal skills. All of the daily living supports are designed to be person-centered and outcome-based, helping individuals achieve their goals. Daytime support is provided for people who choose not to participate in outside employment, day training, or habilitative services.
Health Services
Many adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities may face a wide range of physical health needs. For individuals living in our homes, we provide nursing services, nutritional assessment & meal planning, occupational therapy assessments, environmental adaptations, assistive technology and communication devices, adaptive equipment, sensory integration, and massage therapy.
Recreation
Opportunities to be active in one’s own community through volunteering, taking classes, making new friends and maintaining relationships with family and friends are all part of a whole and active lifestyle. We provide many therapeutic and recreational programs. Each home participates in our Garden Therapy Program, and individuals may participate in expanded wellness activities based on their personal interests.
Wellness
Innovative wellness programming creates an opportunity for people to reduce their need for medication and increase their mobility. Results include a reduction in health-related crises and reduced health care costs. This type of programming also brings people outside to enjoy fresh air, creates motivation to move and be with others, and inspires staff and people served to be more active in general.
