Residential Services
Wingspan currently operates 24 homes in St. Paul and Minneapolis for adults with developmental disabilities. In each family-like home environment, residents have the security and freedom to be themselves, enjoy life and take part in the community. As part of Wingspan's belief that the homes belong to the people who live there, Wingspan staff provides 24-hour-a-day support and assistance for residents but do not live in the homes.
The freedom to make choices
Wingspan is committed to maximizing the amount of control and influence each person has over his or her life choices. Wingspan staff members assist each individual in developing a plan based on that person's specific needs, preferences and circumstances. Because no one's life stays the same, services are adapted to each resident's changing needs, making possible lasting relationships and a lifelong, stable environment.
More than a house
People who live in Wingspan homes lead busy, active lives. With the assistance of Wingspan staff and volunteers, they choose from a wide range of group and individual home activities, participating in household tasks such as meal preparation and hobbies such as painting and needlework. They go on outings to church, movies, bowling, and restaurants, and on vacations. Each year, people from all the Wingspan homes get together at picnics, holiday festivities, dances and other special events.
The highest standards
Wingspan is dedicated to a standard of care that far exceeds minimum rules and regulations. Staff and volunteers are carefully selected for their caring attitude and commitment, forming a solid network and nurturing base of support for Wingspan's residents. A commitment to "go the extra mile" inspires staff and volunteers to do whatever possible to help the people served to pursue their dreams and enjoy a high quality of life. Employee satisfaction surveys and retention rates that exceed the industry average are indicators that Wingspan staff truly love what they do.
