ACR Homes

ACR Homes runs a group of residential homes for people with physical and developmental disabilities, and they've got about 50 to 60 homes across the Twin Cities area, in places like Roseville and Shoreview, Minnesota, where residents live in houses that hold six people each, and every resident has their own bedroom and bathroom, plus there are living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, sunrooms, and decks, and the houses are all wheelchair accessible and decorated to match each person's interests and medical needs. Residents get 24-hour care with a staff ratio of 2 staff for every 6 clients, and there's always a direct care professional and a shift supervisor present, with 24-hour nursing on call and skilled nursing, clinical, and ambulatory help for children, youth, and adults, and they offer everything from help with supplemental oxygen and tube feeding to end-of-life care and hospice options, plus specialized care for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, MS, ALS, and diabetes. The homes also have dementia-friendly, secure features for memory care, and residents receive assistance with mobility, medical, and behavioral needs, including motion therapy and behavior modification. People stay busy with dances, coffee shop trips, vacation planning, educational courses, and other activities, and there's a big focus on making life meaningful, connecting with the community, and helping each person stay as independent as possible. Students and employees can join programs for internships or research that started in 2020, and there are scholarships, flexible schedules, paid training, and resources like a transportation and tuition assistance program for workers, plus the company's been recognized as Minnesota's #1 workplace for two of the last four years, and there are testimonials and stories about clients and staff. Management has Charlie Meyerson as HR Director, Dorothy Nelson as Vice President, Paul Nelson as Manager, and James Nelson as President/CEO. ACR Homes is an Adult Family Home provider, and they're fully accredited by the BBB with an A+ rating, and also work with Arthur's Senior Care for elderly memory care and At Home In Minnesota Healthcare for home health care services. Each home has basic features people need, like restrooms, air conditioning, WiFi, and outdoor seating. They give personalized consultations, answer questions about care, staff, student programs, and jobs, and have resources online like blogs, FAQ sections, and employee support funds. The mission focuses on respecting every resident, always seeing and valuing the person, and improving quality of life with high-quality healthcare, supervision, and meaningful support at home.
