Direct Care Professional

ACR provides residential support services for people with physical and developmental disabilities, as well as care for the elderly including memory care through our affiliated company Arthur’s Senior Care(opens in new tab).

Jim and Dorothy Nelson opened the first ACR home in 1981 for six students with autism who were graduating from high school. Based on their personal experience living and working with people with disabilities, they developed a unique philosophy of care on which all ACR staff are trained. This philosophy is embodied right in the name, "ACR," which stands for Acceptance, Communication and Respect.

They recognize that people with disabilities have the same needs for acceptance as people without disabilities, and that we are all communicating all the time - any limitations on the ability to speak or write does not mean a person cannot communicate. Respect is conveyed in the way we speak and listen, attend to cues, appreciate, support and respond to each person's communication style.

ACR currently supports over 200 individuals in over 40 homes throughout the five-county Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. Each home reflects the tastes, interests, and special needs of the people we support there. We strive to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in each home.

ACR has an outstanding reputation for providing consistent, high-quality services. Our commitment to quality requires high standards for staffing, with a thorough and detailed hiring and training process and excellent supervision and support.
