Balancing support and independence for people with disabilities
What can we offer?
A Place to Call Home
A home of one’s own is the bedrock of independence. We offer safe, quality, affordable housing across Minnesota.
Individualized Care Plans
Every person is unique, which is why we never use a one-size-fits-all approach. All supportive services and care planning decisions balance the unique needs of the individual and their rights, values, and personal lifestyles.
Community Connection
Everyone wants to feel valued in their families and communities. We offer opportunities for people with disabilities to solidify connections with their families, friends, and communities through mental health support and assistance with interpersonal and communications skills.
Personalized guidance, information, and resource coordination to meet physical, social, and financial care needs for older adults, adults with disabilities, and those caring for them. Follow-up services help develop long-term care plans while maximizing independence and quality of life.
Support for older adults and adults with disabilities to maintain independence whenever possible through care plans and support systems that prevent unnecessary guardianship and conservatorship. CESDM also provides guidance and training to case managers, Adult Protection Workers, and social workers.
