Hewitt House of People Inc sits at 1593 Hewitt Ave in St. Paul, MN, offering residential care for adults and seniors who need help with daily life but don't require skilled nursing care you'd find in a nursing home, and you know they've got several homes in places like Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Rapids, some for men, some for women, some for all genders, and at the Chicago Avenue site there's 13 single private rooms with their own bathrooms which helps people manage a short-term crisis while other homes have 8, 13, or even 16 beds. They serve adults 18 and older who are living with mental health issues, and they work with people facing substance use, chronic illness, trauma, PTSD, TBI, LGBT+ issues, HIV/AIDS, and many other challenges, and you'll see residents there are often veterans, seniors, young adults, recent adolescents or folks referred by the courts, or people who live with both mental illness and substance use together, and the place sees people on opioid medications or medication-assisted treatment too. Residents can get inpatient care, outpatient support, crisis stabilization, or short- and long-term residential treatment, so the care fits what the person needs and sometimes that means a step below a hospital but with 24-hour staffing, and help is close by.
Programs at Hewitt House include continuing care and aftercare, assertive community treatment, group therapy, integrated dual disorder treatment, and things like counseling for anger or trauma, relapse prevention, help with housing and employment, and they even have court-ordered outpatient treatment for those who need it, family counseling, care for pregnant and postpartum women, and social skills support with a strong focus on helping residents regain independence. The team helps with life skills, mentoring, and problem-solving, and you'll see that people who are deaf or hard of hearing can access the right help, as they offer those services too, and you'll find diet and exercise counseling, mental health assessments, substance abuse screening, and access to group or individual therapy sessions using approaches like motivational interviewing, CBT, holistic care, dual-diagnosis therapy, and 12-step facilitation, plus urine screening and HIV testing are available. They don't allow smoking in their buildings, and pets aren't allowed either.
At Hewitt House, monthly fees for a one-bedroom start at $10,000, and payment's pretty flexible, since they accept cash, state insurance plans, Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance with companies like Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, and a few others, and sometimes there's payment help or sliding fees for those without easy means to pay. The homes are CARF accredited, which means they meet certain quality standards for rehabilitation, and residents can tap into a 24/7 confidential helpline. Hewitt House has a focus on stepped care, so each person gets just the level of service they need in a safe community, ranging from psychiatric emergency team help to supported housing and everything in between, especially for people with complex needs. It's operated by a private non-profit group and offers Intermediate Residential Treatment Services (IRTS) and Residential Crisis Stabilization (RCS) options which lets people recover stability and move forward at their own pace in a supervised setting that still feels like a home, so all the support's there but it's not as restrictive as a hospital. The facility's earned a 5-star rating from half of the reviews and 8.5 out of 10 from recent reviewers, and that's something people looking for an honest, caring place often notice. CADI waiver eligibility helps some folks get needed care covered, and the focus stays on helping people live as independently as possible while managing their health day by day.
