Residential

Dakota Communities has created welcoming, peaceful settings in 32 locations that people can be proud of as any other homeowner would. Creating that home environment has been one of choices - choices about the colors in the bedspread and curtains, the flowers in the garden, and what is being served for lunch. Some of the supports provided in these homes are:

Daily Living Supports:
Person centered, outcome based, planning and enhancement of decision-making skills, sensory and motor development, self-care, interpersonal skills, community living, money management, and household responsibilities. For people who choose not to participate in outside employment or day training and habilitative services, additional support during the daytime is provided.

Health Services:
Nursing services, nutritional assessment and meal planning, occupational therapy assessments, environmental adaptations, assistive technology and communication devices, adaptive equipment, sensory integration and massage therapy.

Recreational Opportunities:
Leisure and recreation assessment through our Therapeutic Recreation Program, winner of the ANCOR Foundation's 2006 "Community Builder Award", our Garden Therapy Program, opportunities to be active in one's own community through volunteering, taking classes, making new friends and maintaining relationships with family and friends.
