Supervised Living: Around the Clock Personal Support
Fraser Supervised Living has 25 family style group homes located throughout Hennepin and Anoka counties. These homes are Community Residential Support (CRS) setting and have four individuals per home-each with their own personal bedroom. On-site staff develop and manage day-to-day services to assist each person to be as independent as possible in the community. Supports vary between homes and are tailored based on the independence levels and support needs of the individuals, including whether there is awake or asleep overnight staffing. Fraser staff support the individuals in our homes with their Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and their Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs). These include reminders, prompts, and hands-on assistance with tasks such as walking, feeding, dressing/grooming, toileting, bathing, transferring, shopping, housecleaning, and medication management. The staff do the meal planning and most of the meal preparation, depending on the independence of the individuals in the home. Fraser Supervised Living homes will set-up activities in the community and with other Fraser homes, as well as regular organized activities depending on independence levels in the home. The majority of the individuals living in our homes work and/or attend a day program.
The DD, BI, or the CADI waiver will cover the cost of the programming, staffing, meals, etc. Social Security (if applicable, and minus what the individual keeps for personal expenses) and/or Housing Support (formerly GRH) covers the cost of housing/rent. Frequently, individuals or their families will pay for additional favorite food items and community activities out-of-pocket.

Supportive Living: Affordable Housing for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities who are Living Independently
Fraser Supportive Living offers Integrated Community Supports (ICS) to adults already living in or interested in living in their own apartment. The apartments are market rate rent, and not owned by Fraser. Instead, Fraser is partnered with five locations around Hennepin, Ramsey, and Dakota counties to provide these supports and have a staff apartment on site at each location. Since not Fraser owned and housing is separate from the supports, individuals can choose their desired apartment type, if they want a roommate, whether they would like pets or not, etc! Services are person-centered and based on the unique strengths and needs of each person to help them live as independently as possible. Common supports include medication and medical appointment support, meal planning, grocery shopping, assistance with community integration, creating and maintaining cleaning routines, assistance scheduling transportation and more.
Waiver funding typically covers the cost of programming and staffing. Individuals pay their own rent, utilities, and living expenses. The cost varies widely based on location, if an individual lives alone or with a roommate, desired utilities, and spending habits. Individuals typically utilize a combination of earned wages from employment, Social Security (SSI/SSDI/RSDI), Food Support (SNAP), Minnesota Supplemental Aid (MSA) and MSA Housing Support to assist with their rent, utilities and other living expenses.
