Community Services – Grand Forks

Welcome to our Community Services section, the next generation of Anne Carlsen Center care. For decades, our Jamestown campus was the only location in the state where we could meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. That changed in June 2008 with the opening of our first Community Services office, allowing greater access to all of the Center’s expertise and care.

We also now offer In-Home Supports as well as Personal and Community Supports, helping individuals enjoy a life of dignity and independence. These programs also provide guidance for those in an assisting capacity.

These locations will not offer the residential services available at our Jamestown campus. They will, however, offer a variety of supports and services that will make it possible for more children to live in their natural family environment.

Through our Community Supports, we will provide space for therapy assessments, team meetings and group trainings without the hassle and time wasted of a cross-state drive.

In-Home Support

In-Home supports assist individuals and their families, creating a stronger network and a greater chance of success in all areas of life for individuals with disabilities.

It takes a strong support system to help a person live a healthy, meaningful life.

Through In-Home Supports, the Anne Carlsen Center will help create your child’s foundation of learning. The focus will not center on just the individual, but also factors in the roles of parents, family members and caregivers, among others. Each will learn skills and routines that support the plan we’ve crafted for your child.

The Center’s programs are customized to your family and address your specific needs. We help track an individual’s development through a series of goals and objectives.
