Services
How Does NCI REALLY make the Service fit the person?
Once a referral has been made to New Challenges and the person has been accepted, steps are taken to make a placement as perfect as possible by:
- Finding optimal roommates
- Making any necessary adaptations to the home (e.g. ramps, accessible baths)
- Contracting for special healthcare services if they are required (e.g. Special nursing assistance for diabetes, spinal cord injuries, seizure behaviors and more)
- Developing behavioral programming if needed using two behavior analysts who are well versed in cognitive-behavioral therapies
NCI develops homes and related services for people with:
- Developmental Disabilities
- Acquired Brain Injuries
- Other emotional and cognitive disorders
NCI serves people who are eligible for services under Home and Community-based Services or Private Party pay:
- MR/RC
- CADI
- TBI
Given the unique nature of our services and the people who receive them there is a wonderful variety of settings. Here are some examples:
- 2 and 3 bedroom apartments in quiet suburban apartment complexes with pools, meeting rooms and other amenities
- beautiful town homes
- well-maintained free-standing homes
- in-home services
- Sites located across Dakota, Washington, southern Hennepin, Wright, Douglas and Chisago counties
