Our community

Our story

Rooted on Saint Paul's East Side since 2014.

  1. 2014

    Where it started

    We opened four group homes in the East Side St. Paul and West St. Paul areas.

  2. 2020

    A home on Hazel Street

    After six successful years, we began building our Hazel Street location, opening with 24 rooms.

  3. 2023

    Growing to meet the need

    Seeing how many families needed great care, we started an expansion to add 30 more rooms.

  4. 2024

    Expansion complete

    In April, the new rooms opened, so we can serve more residents while keeping the same high standard of care.

  5. Today

    New apartments available

    Studios are open now, with no waiting period for CADI and Elderly Waiver.
