New Crisis Respite Center in Ely, Minnesota

Rural Living Environments has provided person-centered services to the Intellectual and Developmentally Disabled community since 2003, serving both adult and adolescents with higher behavioral needs in our residential and supported employment programs. Today those services have been expanded to include Crisis and Respite services.

Crisis/Respite services provide short-term care and crisis intervention to a person with Brain Injury (BI), Community Alternative Care (CAC), Community Access for Disabled Inclusion (CADI), or Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled waiver who is experiencing a behavioral crisis.

• Creation of a person-centered plan (with the assistance of the person’s team) to help end the crisis and keep the person safe
• Consultation and training with caregivers as needed
