Welcome to The Phoenix Residence!

The Phoenix Residence, Inc is a nonprofit organization founded in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1974 by Margaret Ludden, a parent of a son with disabilities. Margaret formed a coalition of parents like her that had grown children with developmental and physical disabilities.

Our goal is to assist the individuals we support to be as independent as possible through daily programs and getting out into the community.

We currently have three openings at our homes in Saint Paul, Maplewood, and Newport. Our homes in Saint Paul and Maplewood are ICF/DD homes, while our Newport home is a 4-bed waiver site. *Please note our Newport home is an all-female home!

Several of these homes are in quiet, residential neighborhoods, but close to major highways when needed. One of our Maplewood homes specializes in supporting those with autism. We are near Lake Phalen, Maplewood Mall, and many day program providers, restaurants, and stores. 

You can learn more about the homes here: Homes – The Phoenix Residence

Our staff are trained in daily cares, CPR, first aid, and medication passing.

REMINDER: To be able to utilize ICF/DD services, an individual must:

1. Have a diagnosis of DD or a related condition (e.g. Autism, Cerebral Palsy)
2. Require 24-hour services
3. A person would need to be screened as eligible for ICF level of care by their Case Manager.
4. Case Manager needs to complete a screening at the time of admission. This is often also assessed as a part of a person’s MN Choices Assessment and indicates whether they are eligible. 

If you are interested in this opening or have questions, please contact Mary Thirsten at 651-294-7952 or mthirsten@phoenixresidence.org
