Certain sectors of modern society hold ableist attitudes, shunning the plight of many persons with disabilities, including those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
We know the unique challenges of taking care of a loved one who has a mental health disability. We also know and uphold their right to a life of joy and fulfillment.
To meet the need for support and care for individuals with mental disabilities, our adult foster care home in Isanti, Minnesota was established. J and K Comfort Home provides supportive and life-enhancing services. You can count on us to help your loved one live independently and enjoy opportunities for health and happiness.
Our Mission
To provide safe home and community services to support people in living in dignity and liberty.
In order to accomplish this, we do the following things every day at our foster care home:
- We have fun while working together.
- We encourage safe and healthy choices.
- We deal with difficult behaviors in a respectful and dignified manner.
- We encourage people to reach their goals in life, as independently as possible.
- We remain positive each day.
Our action plan is “Moving Forward, Together.”
