Our House of Minnesota,
Inc is a non-profit corporation which operates
two group homes serving adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The homes are located in the Merriam Park neighborhood
of St. Paul, each home provides the opportunity
for six individuals to live in a setting which
promotes independence while providing necessary
support and assistance.
The residents have a wide range of skills and
needs. Programs provide stimulation and individualized
opportunities to learn, develop, and improve
life skills such as self-care, social interaction,
homemaking, leisure time use, and vocational
planning. The goal is to improve self-esteem,
self-confidence, and independence.
All of our residents have homemaking responsibilities,
which can vary from carrying plates to the table
to preparing a complete meal. During the day
everyone either works in sheltered employment
or attends an education program designed to teach
pre-vocational/vocational skills.
Our House is managed by a volunteer board of
directors and an administrator. Members of the
program staff provide twenty-four hour assistance
to the residents.
Six individuals live in
each group home. Both homes are licensed as Intermediate Care Facilities for adults with Developmental Disabilities
(ICF/DD), and regulated through ICF/DD regulations,
Department of Human Services (DHS), and Minnesota
Department of Health (MDH) regulations.
