Residential Services

Community Residential Services (CRS)

Our Community Residential Services (CRS) homes serve children and adults with developmental disabilities, providing them with care, training, and supervision. We base these programs in single-family homes in residential neighborhoods, where four people with similar needs and interests live together and receive assistance. Our trained, caring staff provide high quality, individualized care on a 24-hour basis.

Services are centered in the CRS home and in the community, as designated by the person-served, family, and team. All activities are designed to promote as much independence as possible. The primary purpose in our CRS program is to support persons served as they develop to their fullest potential, achieving the most normal lifestyle possible within a supervised setting. Daily needs are met either by the individual when capable or by our direct care staff.

Basset Creek, MN

Bassett Creek SLS, offers a warm, welcoming group home in the peaceful, tree-lined community of Golden Valley, Minnesota. Designed to support up to four female residents, this wheelchair-accessible home provides a safe, comfortable environment where individuals of varying abilities can live full, meaningful lives.

Social engagement and community connection are key at Bassett Creek. Residents are encouraged to participate in regular outings of their choosing and are supported in maintaining meaningful connections with family and friends. From everyday routines to long-term goal setting, our trained professionals work in partnership with each resident to ensure dignity, respect, and the highest quality of life. .

Training & Services

We provide training in a range of areas, including daily living activities (appropriate social skills, health/fitness, community integration, recreation and leisure interests), environmental and behavioral strategies designed to minimize maladaptive behaviors, academic skills (signing, writing, basic math skills, fine and gross motor skills) and independent living skills (time and money management, transportation training, domestic tasks, problem solving skills, and personal hygiene). Direct care staff strive to be unobtrusive, and positive with the individual.

We provide services such as administering medications, coordination of medical/psychiatric appointments, provide transportation, crisis intervention, and make referrals to other professional services when needed. We offer nursing consultation for special medical needs.

Modifications to the Home

Each CRS home that we develop is designed to fit the needs of the individual persons served and to promote increased independence. We do this by modifying the home environment and including adapted equipment as necessary. All training materials within the home are designed to be exciting, stimulating, and age appropriate. Maintaining a safe and healthful environment is primary in protecting persons served.

Open Door Policy

Meridian Services understands that a residential move can be an adjustment for both the individual and the family, and we wish to offer reassurance to everyone involved throughout the process. We will work with the family and the interdisciplinary team to understand the person served’s preferences, needs, and expectations prior to the move. We want to make the move as non-disruptive as possible. Meridian has an open door policy for the family/caregivers of persons served. We encourage the family to visit at any time-it is not necessary to notify us.

We look forward to connecting with you!
