We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new community residential setting, thoughtfully designed to offer a warm and inviting home for individuals with diverse needs, particularly those with high behavioral support requirements. Our mission is to create a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where residents can thrive, feel supported, and be part of a vibrant community.
Tucked away in a friendly neighborhood, our residential setting provides convenient access to essential amenities, including grocery stores, healthcare facilities, parks, the nine mile river district, and public transportation. The area fosters a sense of belonging and invites residents to engage with the broader community.
Welcoming Accommodations: Our residential setting features comfortable living spaces designed for individuality and comfort. Each resident will have a private room and access to communal areas including 3 living rooms, a garden, 2 large decks, a garage used for projects, and a dining area where they can share meals and enjoy activities together.
Accessible Design: We’ve prioritized accessibility throughout our facility, with wide hallways and the lower level that can accommodate an individual with mobility challenges. Our space is designed so that everyone can move around freely and safely. We are open to modify the space further if needed to suit an individual’s needs.
Safety and Security: The safety of our residents is our top priority. The facility includes secure entrances, a surveillance system, and emergency response protocols. Our compassionate staff will be available around the clock to assist residents and ensure a safe living environment. Our Bloomington location has 3 staff on average per shift.
Person-Centered Support: We believe in a personalized approach to care. Each resident will work with our team to develop individualized support plans that focus on their unique strengths, preferences, and goals. We want every resident to feel empowered and in control of their own journey.
High-Need/Behavior Support: Our setting is equipped to support individuals with higher needs and more complex behavioral challenges. We will provide specialized programming tailored to their requirements, including trauma-informed care, de-escalation techniques, and positive behavioral support strategies. Our staff are trained to understand and respond to diverse behavioral needs, ensuring each resident feels respected and understood.
Life Skills Development: We offer various life skills training sessions aimed at promoting independence. Activities include assistance with cooking, personal budgeting, and ADLs education. These programs are designed to empower residents and build confidence in their abilities.
Social and Recreational Activities: Engagement and connection are key components of our programs. Residents can look forward to a range of activities, from arts and crafts to exercise classes and community outings, encouraging social interaction and personal interests.
Health and Wellness Services: Access to healthcare professionals will be readily available, including regular medical check-ups, mental health support, and wellness coaching. Our holistic approach focuses on both physical and emotional well-being, recognizing that health encompasses a wide array of factors.
Our dedicated team of caring professionals will manage the community residential setting. Staff will include care coordinators, RN, owners (heavily involved) and trained support staff. We ensure that our team undergoes comprehensive training in areas such as person-centered care, behavior intervention, and communication skills, keeping the unique needs of each resident at the forefront of our approach.
We believe that being part of the community is essential for individual growth and happiness. Residents will be encouraged to participate in local events, volunteer opportunities, and activities that foster social inclusion. We aim to build connections that enrich their lives and promote relationships outside our setting.
