All Human Life is Intrinsically Valuable.

Mission and Philosophy

It is our core belief that human life is intrinsically valuable. It is our goal at ACR to provide the best possible physical and emotional support to the individuals whom we support so that they may lead fulfilling lives. We’ve put the key concepts we use to accomplish our mission right in our name, “ACR,” which stands for Acceptance, Communication and Respect.

High Quality Care

ACR is an expert at supporting individuals with unique healthcare needs. We currently support over 200 individuals, over 130 of whom require wheelchair accessible homes. Many of those individuals have mobility limitations or medical issues which require supports such as 2-person transfers, special diets, positioning, range of motion therapies, tube feedings, ostomy care, supplemental oxygen, and diabetes. Our outstanding staff, who are selected through a rigorous process developed by our founder, Jim Nelson, carry out all of this specialized care.

Our Homes

ACR homes have a warm and inviting atmosphere. The homes are decorated with each resident’s tastes, interests, and special needs in mind. All of our homes have their own unique style created by our in-house interior designer. At least one of our seven maintenance staff members is always on call in case of emergencies, and they keep our homes extremely well maintained.
