Welcome to the
Empowerment Healthcare
Empowerment
Healthcare is the leader in providing
adult
foster care and
assisted living services to the greater
Minneapolis, St Paul metro area. We specialize in meeting the needs of the
younger adult struggling with heavy medical, mental
health, and substance abuse issues.
Our motto,
“Transforming Lives through Support, Advocacy and
Empowerment” is apparent through our commitment to
creating individualized care plans that foster
independence while balancing a safe, structured, and
respectful environment that optimizes success and
personal growth.
Empowerment sets itself apart from other agencies with
our unique approach that is centered on a nursing model.
Our team of full time Registered nurses are actively
involved in the day to day activities of our clients.
This model allows for the support of heavy medical needs
including: sliding scale diabetics, tracheostomies,
ventilators, feeding tubes, and wounds. Our nurses are
also there to notice the subtle changes as it relates to
mental health and chemical dependency diagnose,
resulting in excellent communication with physicians to
make changes to the care plan. Finally, our direct care
staff and House Managers have the benefit of constant
supervision and intensive training on topics that are
relevant to the specific needs of our clients.
Empowerment Healthcare is managed by Registered Nurses
with years of both medical and Psychiatric nursing
experience. This lends itself to a company whose belief
is that all clients deserve a fresh start, and a chance
to succeed in the community. Our admission process is
done on a case by case basis, after a thorough
assessment by a RN, not by set criteria.
Our
dedicated staff think outside the box to ensure our
clients have the tools and resources necessary to
succeed. We utilize positive reinforcement strategies to
encourage clients to meet their behavioral goals. Our
approach is to work closely with clients’ support team,
including the family, physician, and Case Manager to
create the least restrictive environment while providing
an individualized care plan that allows our clients to
meet their long term goals of independence.
Whether
it is one of our
Adult Foster Care or
Assisted Living
homes, our clients benefit from industry leading staff
to client ratios. We focus on hiring, orienting, and
providing ongoing training to our staff that focuses on
specific medical needs, behavioral modification, and
crisis management. We do not believe that calling 911 or
hospitalization is the first step in resolving issues;
we work closely with our team and the physician to go
above and beyond to give our clients what they need
while at home leading to low hospitalization rates.
Empowerment Healthcare strives to truly Support,
Advocate, and Empower our clients to meet their full
potential and have the opportunity to succeed in the
community.
