Oak Street Services at 211 Oak St. in Northfield is a licensed, 30-bed intermediate care facility that offers residential services for people 16 years and older who, because of their developmental disabilities, are not able to live independently in the community.
Clients live in a safe, nurturing atmosphere in one of five households on campus. Trained staff provide 24-hour supervision and implement individualized treatment plans that emphasize continuous learning and growth based on each person’s wants, needs and dreams. Clients design their own goals in areas such as: social skills, daily living skills and money management. Participation in the larger community through recreation or work is encouraged.
We recognize the importance of family involvement and support and nourish the connection between people supported and their family and friends.
Typical areas of Supervision and Training
We are successful with people others have labeled as “difficult to serve.” We take dignity and respect seriously, and the results speak for themselves. One of our clients who was denied access to the outside world in a previous setting has earned her high school diploma and has started working already.
We serve clients with Prader-Willi Syndrome. Please click here to visit the Prader-Willi Association web page.
