ACR Healthcare Group, also called ACR at Home Healthcare, LLC, runs over 50 group homes throughout the five-county Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area, including Roseville and Shoreview, and cares for more than 200 people with disabilities by making sure every home feels both safe and welcoming. Each small six-person home has private bedrooms and bathrooms, common living and dining rooms, kitchen, sunroom, and a deck, and every place is equipped for wheelchair access and staff trained in medical procedures, medication passing, and specialized equipment like patient lifts and seizure management, so people get the care they need in a place that feels like home. There's a strong focus on assisted living for adults with physical and developmental disabilities, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, short-term respite stays, and around-the-clock skilled nursing for those who need extra support. ACR's nursing staff is on-call 24 hours a day, and homes often have live-in supervisors or assistants who help foster stability and immediate support.
Those living in ACR homes can have different conditions, such as Parkinson's, MS, ALS, diabetes, and behavioral or clinical needs including the use of oxygen, tube feeding, or wound care. They can also receive help with bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, and transportation is arranged for medical appointments. The care in each home's tailored to each person's interests, tastes, and medical needs, which means staff do their best to make sure everyone enjoys a good quality of life. Scheduled daily activities and community-sponsored events help residents stay active and connected, and there's a strong commitment to privacy, dignity, and independence for each person.
ACR Healthcare Group values diversity and inclusion in hiring, which is clear in the variety of backgrounds among its over 800 staff. The facility offers career paths in group home management, direct support, direct care, nursing, and specific programs for Certified Nursing Assistants. Online job and internship applications make it easier to join the team, and there's a unique internship program for college students in health-related fields, giving them hands-on experience, project development, data analysis, and even research writing opportunities, which is valuable for those interested in health care and social services.
Staff at ACR Homes receive about 70 hours of training and have access to employee resources like transportation and tuition help, benefits, contests, and an Employee SAFE Fund, all meant to support them as they work. Leadership encourages staff to do research and get involved in project-based improvement, which helps keep care standards high. With high staffing ratios, caring employees, and many support measures, ACR Healthcare Group is known for a supportive and nurturing work environment.
The corporate office sits in Roseville, and business management includes James Nelson as President/CEO, Paul Nelson as Manager, Charlie Meyerson as HR Director, and Dorothy Nelson as Vice President. The sister company, Arthur's Senior Care, specializes in assisted living and memory care for the elderly in Roseville and Shoreview, which means families have access to a full range of senior services, from independent living with resort-style amenities to 24-hour medical and memory care. ACR also collaborates with local initiatives such as the Roseville Alzheimer's and Dementia Community Action Team.
