Just like our clients and their families, we at HealthStar Home Health cannot function in a silo. Resources, education and interaction from outside agencies makes us stronger and more knowledgeable about the issues seniors and those with disabilities face and how to problem solve. That is why each year representatives from HealthStar attend a conference hosted by The Association of Residential Resources in Minnesota (ARRM). This 2-day conference is loaded with education hours, networking opportunities, innovative ideas and practical solutions intended to support the more than 600 participants expected to attend. The participants include direct support professionals (DSPs), mid-to-executive level management from agencies, as well as others from related industries.
What’s Trending? #ARRM2K16 is this year’s conference theme and it will be held May 11-12, 2016 in Duluth, Minnesota. The conference will include a large trade show, the ARRM annual meeting, training opportunities, as well as 2 keynote speakers and over 40 breakout sessions to choose from. A highlight of the event will be the ARRM Cares Awards ceremony which honors outstanding DSPs from across Minnesota. Visit www.arrm.org/ for more information.
The Association of Residential Resources in Minnesota (AARRM) is dedicated to leading the advancement of community-based services that support people living with disabilities as well as advocating towards positive industry reform to help make a difference in their everyday lives. This private, non-profit association was founded in 1970 and is made up of over 225 advocates, providers, agencies, and businesses who continue to support Minnesotans with disabilities.
We look forward to the opportunity to share with the attendees some of the services we offer, such as medical social work, skilled nursing, home & community services, and mental health services. From routine household chores such as light housekeeping, transportation arrangement or meal preparation included in our homemaking program to providing planned short-term and time-limited breaks for caregivers through our respite care offerings, we ensure support is available to those that need it with our Home and Community Services program. This program is available to all persons covered under the Medical Assistance Waiver Programs or as private pay.
Throughout our Children’s Therapeutic Services and Supports (CTSS) and our Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) we feature cultural sensitivity and provide a wide variety of mental health services with empathy to the underserved people of all ages in our communities. Our goal is to make communities strong by providing skills that can help with independent living and social situations.
