Program areas at Laura Baker Services Association

Oak street residential services: an intermediate care facility for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These services are licensed by the Minnesota dept of health (icf-dd and supervised living facility) and the Minnesota dept of human services (consolidated standards for licensed programs serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities). Services are funded primarily through medicaid and are authorized through each persons interdisciplinary team and their county of financial responsibility. Our rates are determined by the mn dept of human services. Increases/decreases are approved through the mn legislature. Currently at 24, we are licensed to serve 30 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Each person served receives services 24 hours a day and receives active treatment services to assist him/her to maintain and improve in any areas that limit his/her ability to live independently in the community. Active treatment includes individual service and program plans for each individual which are reviewed and updated monthly, quarterly and annually to measure progress toward those goals. We provide assistance to each person in the activities of daily living, including but not limited to: self-care (e.g. Dressing, grooming, toileting), money management, household management, community access and integration, mobility, leisure and recreation.community services: these services are provided in the northfield area in each person's home. We operate 6 community residental homes which support 3 or 4 people each. We have another 11 clients to whom we provide in-home support in their own homes or apartments.

We are paid an hourly rate for in-home support. Community residential clients have a daily rate determined by their county of financial responsibility in conjunction with mn dept of human services reimbursement guidelines. Each person's rate is dependent upon his/her needs for support and is individualized to the greatest extent possible. Services generally are funded by medicaid. While rate changes can be initiated based upon changes in an individual's needs, general rate changes to accommodate inflation and staff increases are approved through the mn legislature.

Laura Baker School: in 2016, we closed our private School and now lease that space to the cannon valley special education cooperative, the cvsec.
