Accra Care VII is an established provider of individualized homecare services designed to enhance the quality of life for clients living in their own homes. It offers a range of supportive programs that focus on assisting with activities of daily living, such as dressing, grooming, eating, bathing, transfers, mobility, positioning, and toileting, ensuring that individuals receive the level of personal care they require. For adult clients, services can also include help with light housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation, addressing everyday needs to support independent living. Care is not confined to the home; support is also available within the community, catering to both children and adults, and tailored to those with long-term care needs or disabilities.
A key focus at Accra Care VII is the promotion of self-directed care, empowering clients to make their own choices about the support they receive and who delivers it. Through its role as a Financial Management Service provider, the care home enables individuals to hire and employ caregivers under the Consumer Directed Community Supports (CDCS) program and the Consumer Support Grant (CSG). This approach gives people the flexibility to select trusted support workers and procure any additional assistance required to maintain a fulfilling life within their community.
Accra Care VII provides an extensive array of 245D licensed services, including respite, homemaker, Individual Community Living Support (ICLS), and Individual Home Supports (IHS) both with and without training, as well as night supervision. Clients are carefully matched with skilled workers according to their specific needs, and for services such as IHS with training, a qualified staff member is assigned to deliver personalized support. The process for accessing these services involves collaboration among clients, an assigned Service Coordinator, and the county case manager to develop and implement tailored care plans that are reviewed and administered as appropriate.
The care home’s commitment to supporting the independence of individuals extends across the entire lifespan, offering services to children, adolescents, adults, and families who care for loved ones with disabilities or older adults who need assistance in their homes. With broad availability throughout Minnesota, Accra Care VII serves clients in all 87 counties, and has grown to become the state’s largest provider of homecare, supporting more than 11,000 individuals across the region. This is made possible by a dedicated team of over 16,000 direct care professionals and administrative staff, all working under a mission to improve lives through personalized attention and reliable support.
Accra Care VII strives to make every interaction meaningful by providing compassionate and flexible care. Clients benefit from the expertise and personal attention of Service Coordinators, who guide them through the process of designing a care plan that addresses their unique situation. For those seeking employment or looking to hire a personal caregiver, the care home offers a job board that facilitates connections between clients and qualified caregivers. The environment cultivated at Accra Care VII is one of trust and partnership, enriching the lives of those served by fostering stability, security, and a sense of belonging within the home and the broader community.
