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.

Now Accepting Female Residents | 1:4 Capacity | Wheelchair Accessible

Timbercrest provides a supportive and inclusive environment for up to four women with disabilities in a community setting. The residents enjoy engaging in activities such as socializing, arts and crafts, and baking. Staff members are specially trained to provide personalized medical care and daily support. The home promotes independence and a sense of belonging for each individual.

The home emphasizes independence while offering the structure and services residents need to thrive. Residents receive medication support, health coordination, and transportation to medical appointments. In addition, they benefit from person-centered planning to help them develop independent living skills and achieve their personal aspirations.

Calhoun

Calhoun, Minneapolis, MN

Calhoun is a duplex in the Uptown area of Minneapolis serving individuals who are developmentally disabled but very capable of living alone. The men who live there spend time in the community pursuing their interests and involvement with friends. The lower level is a site licensed as a community residential service. There is a manager on-site and 24-hour supervision for the 2 people who live on the lower level. The manager and other staff are available in an emergency.
 

The open bedroom is in the upstairs of the home. There are two bedrooms in the apartment, and one is available. The person who chooses to live here will share common living spaces: kitchen, bathroom and living room with the current resident. The person who shares this apartment will be charged rent since this is not a licensed site and GRH does not apply. They will also pay for their own food. The person can receive hourly services either from Meridian Services or another provider, but it is not meant to be a 24-hour supervised site. The process for applying for this site will include meeting the other person who lives upstairs. This is not a handicap accessible site..

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!
