ALWAYS PROFESSIONALS

A PLACE WHERE THE SPIRIT CAN GROW AND BE NURTURED

Company & Philosophy

Why we do what we do, Paradigm Residential Services, Inc.

Don and former Co-Owner Rosie started Paradigm Residential Services on January 6, 2000.  The company strives to give a “lift up” to those individuals who oftentimes have been forgotten by society.  Our philosophy is that we feel there could be places in which individuals could call their  home. The company strongly believes a  home is a place where memories are made and cherished. Paradigm Residential Services, Inc. and our entire team have been committed to making our homes a place where an individual should feel safe, secure, and happy.

The ultimate goal was not to create just another group home. Minnesota has plenty of group homes.  Paradigm Residential Services, Inc. wanted to give a genesis to environments in which individuals may choose to live and cohabitate with other individuals, being empowered by their differences not debilitated by them. We wanted to create environments in the home that would build human dignity rather than strip it away.  Our team wanted homes in which individuals would be proud to live in, an environment that would offer safety and dignity.  Our team fosters environments that offer positive supports and empowerment for independence.  That is our purpose and mission every day.

Paradigm Residential Services, Inc. is so much more than residential services, it is a place where the spirit can grow and be nurtured. It is a place where one human soul touches another. We have been in service for over 20 years and are very proud of what our team has done.  Paradigm Residential Services, Inc. is more than an entity created by the Co-Founders, Paradigm is an entity unto itself, created by something larger than imagined by us, and guided by a spirit larger than both of us.

The human spirit is a powerful tool. When it touches another it can ignite and bring to pass powerful experiences. If you are interested in touring our homes, or interested in having us speak at your meeting or function
