DARTS is a dedicated organization located in the Dakota County and Greater Minneapolis Area, deeply committed to supporting and enriching the lives of older adults. With a strong emphasis on fostering community connections, DARTS offers a wide range of services tailored to promote independence, well-being, and comfort for seniors. Their mission is rooted in caring for the aging population by providing accessible resources and thoughtful assistance that respond to the diverse needs of individuals as they age.
Among the core services provided by DARTS are home cleaning and home repairs, ensuring that older adults are able to maintain a safe and comfortable living environment. Recognizing that the ability to remain in one's own home is deeply valued, DARTS emphasizes both the practical and emotional aspects of home care. Their team approaches every task with professionalism and empathy, helping clients with everyday concerns as well as larger repair projects that might otherwise become barriers to aging in place.
Beyond home-focused services, DARTS is also distinguished for its caregiver support and transportation offerings. Their caregiver services aim to assist not only those receiving care but also the loved ones who support them, recognizing the unique challenges faced by caregivers. Professional rides are provided to ensure older adults have reliable, safe transportation for errands, medical appointments, or social engagements. Of particular note is their LOOP Buses program, which is designed to give seniors enhanced mobility and a renewed sense of freedom within their community.
DARTS also values community involvement and encourages both group and individual volunteering throughout the year. Opportunities to serve enhance connections among all participants and foster intergenerational relationships that strengthen the fabric of Dakota County. The organization is overseen by the DARTS Team and a Board of Directors, each dedicated to steering the organization toward innovative service and community integration. DARTS continues to evolve its programs, ensuring that older adults in and around Dakota County receive the support, respect, and opportunity they deserve for a fulfilling life.
