Zumbro House Inc, founded in 2001 and led by CEO Christopher Onken, is a senior living community in Woodbury, Minnesota, that focuses on providing both residential care and specialized care for individuals with mental disabilities or mental illness, and it has a range of services from highly supervised Corporate Foster Care to apartment options that can offer support 24/7 or just part of the day, so residents with varying needs can find support that's meant for them. The community uses a seamless system of behavioral supports, so every client gets individualized programs that look after specific behavioral needs and try to help clients live safely and successfully in the community, with a strong focus on personalized and therapeutic care, which the place sometimes calls "residential care" and "specialized care" because folks there might need something different from the next person.
Zumbro House Inc provides group activities, support services, dining with meal preparation, and special dietary options like allergy-sensitive and diabetes diets, so residents can get the care and social help they need inside a supportive and active environment. The community offers furnished rooms, a garden, walking paths, a salon, a dining area, and things like movie nights, trying to make daily living easier but also a bit more enjoyable, and it has safety features like an emergency alert system and wheelchair access, plus telephones in rooms. They've got licensed Comprehensive Home Care services, transportation, and parking, as well as care for people who need help with bathing, dressing, medication, daily activities, or even extra supervision. Help with non-ambulatory care, assistance with transfers, and coordination with healthcare providers are built into how they work with residents, making sure they don't miss what's needed for daily health.
Zumbro House Inc regularly runs community-sponsored and resident-run activities that let people stay engaged and get to know others, while also providing caregivers and nursing jobs for people who are bright, caring, and want to help folks lead happy, productive lives, which matches their mission of making a supportive, challenging, and rewarding place to live and work. The business has about 201 to 500 employees and an annual revenue near $10 million, and it serves mainly the Woodbury area. Zumbro House Inc has a Better Business Bureau rating of A+ but isn't BBB accredited, and it doesn't accept Medicare unless it's certified to do so. It maintains its licenses through Minnesota and often gets reviewed by local entities. People who move in get access to supervision and care that usually costs less than a full-time nursing home, and the facility coordinates with the Minnesota Department of Human Services for resources. The organization has a website at zumbrohouse.com and uses several tech tools like jQuery and PHP to run its online services. The focus through all they do stays on keeping people with disabilities or mental illness safe, cared for, and active out in the community.
