Olu's Home

Olu's Home sits right in Minneapolis and's been around since 1999, founded by Gloria Freeman, who's a Black woman, and she's kept the whole group focused on giving people what they need in a way that respects everyone's dignity and independence, and you'll see the company's licensed and certified by the City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Ramsey County, and the City of St. Paul, so they're set up solid in legal terms, and the places provide both residential and in-home care with lots of support for seniors, kids, and adults with disabilities, plus it's got a bunch of group homes around the Twin Cities, mainly for folks with severe mental illness or developmental issues, and even for those with mobility or traumatic brain injuries because these homes handle a good bit-help with daily living, medication, health care coordination, cooked meals, rooms that come furnished and cleaned, laundry, cable, WiFi, gardens, common spaces, transportation planning, and there's even a 24-hour call system so help's always close. Olu's Home carries a long list of licenses, like numbers 1068807, 1068808, and 1068809, and those cover both housing and care, plus every place is shaped for comfort and safety, which matters if you need things like home modifications, accessible living, or personal assistance. Services don't stop at older adults, since their network reaches kids as young as six weeks up through age twelve for early childhood programs, and all that's run with attention to imagination, learning, and basic life skills, mixing in enrichment and community so everybody keeps growing-not only the kids, but the adults, too-and families get to stay involved since the staff keeps them updated through care planning and talks. The community aims for all-around support, looking after physical health, feelings, and even everyday challenges, so people can work toward job searches or take part in structured activities-these homes, with their supportive staff, handle everything from respite care if someone needs a short-term stay to scheduled outings, help in the home, and even transitional services for those moving through changes or trying to live more independently, and anyone receiving DD, CADI, TBI, or Elderly and Alternative Care waivers can get services here. You'll notice the place is woman-owned, minority-owned, holds small business and central certifications, and overall, Olu's Home does what's needed so folks can enjoy more confidence, better skills, and a safe, steady place in their community-never claiming perfection, but working hard on care and support every day at their 12 different locations.
