Clark Lake Homes

What Clark Lake Homes does

Clark Lake Homes is a private, for-profit residential care provider founded in 1993 and headquartered at 2700 Oak Street in Brainerd, Minnesota. The company operates 11 licensed residential foster care settings in the Brainerd Lakes Area, each licensed for up to 4 clients and staffed 24 hours a day by direct care professionals and supported Lead staff. Services are delivered under Minnesota 245-D Statute and span two core programs: Semi-Independent Living Services for adults needing limited assistance while maintaining independence, and Personal Care Services for individuals requiring comprehensive daily support. Both programs serve adults with developmental disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, and mental illnesses. A Community Activities Program complements residential services with social and adaptive engagement through partnerships with local organizations such as Special Olympics, YMCA, Camp Confidence, and Camp Friendship.

The care model is explicitly person-centered, developed with input from residents, families, case managers, physicians, and school/work representatives. Functional offerings include meal preparation, personal hygiene assistance, shopping and budgeting support, social skills building, living skills assessments, medication administration, and community outings. Beyond the 11 licensed homes, the company added independent living services in 1995 to support individuals living on their own or with family in the Brainerd area.

Revenue is generated through residential care service delivery, most likely sourced from Minnesota Medicaid waiver programs administered through county social services and supplemented by private-pay arrangements typical of 245-D licensed providers. No proprietary technology platform, app, or digital infrastructure is disclosed; the business is operated primarily through direct residential care delivery and a referral-driven go-to-market relying on case managers, physicians, schools, and family/guardian networks within the local region. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated through county social service and Medicaid waiver channels rather than posted channels.
