Living On Purpose: About Stonecrest Living Stonecrest Living is a purpose-driven provider of specialized care. The members of our community include children, youth, and adults with complex neurodivergent needs and behavioral health challenges. We offer crisis respite, individualized home supports with training, night supervision, community residential services, and assisted living in Minnetonka. With over a decade of experience and a leadership team bringing more than 50 years of collective expertise, we support individuals with neurodivergent conditions such as autism, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, sensory processing disorder, and other developmental and cognitive experiences. Our work addresses behaviors such as self-harm, aggression, elopement, and sensory dysregulation by focusing on the root causes—trauma, neurocognitive distinctions, and behavioral health needs—through loving, person-centered care. We understand that for many living with serious and persistent mental illness and developmental disabilities, home has never been simple—it has been a system that fell short, a system that could not account for the ways human intersections need to be seen and supported. Too often, people have been defined by diagnoses, reduced to behaviors, or managed by protocols that overlook the fullness of their identity. At Stonecrest, we believe that being seen means more than being observed—it means being known, understood, and valued in all your complexity. It means recognizing the story behind the struggle, the resilience behind the symptoms, and the humanity within the file. We believe home is not a noun but a daily act of care: staff who truly see you, not just your chart; spaces that honor your complexity without reducing you to it. At Stonecrest Living, we are invested in creating environments where belonging is woven through routines, through activities that reflect personal interests and goals, through meals prepared, skills practiced, and lives lived with dignity. Our caregiving team draws on the strength of their collective cultural wisdom— including African values of community, respect, and service to others—that have guided civilizations and sustained communities for centuries. Today, we have the privilege of sharing those gifts with members in new communities of experience, weaving our lived experience of interdependence and collective caregiving into every interaction. This is not just support—it is our unapologetic drive to help our community live on purpose.
