is a non-profit corporation, operating two group homes. Each home serves six adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, providing them the opportunity to live in a setting promoting independence while providing necessary support and assistance. Our residents have a wide range of skills and needs. Programs provide stimulation and individualized opportunities to learn, develop, and imp
rove 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 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. A volunteer-based board of directors and an administrator manages Our House of Minnesota, Inc.. Members of the program staff provide twenty-four hour assistance to the residents. 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.
