Chore Services Coordination- S5120, S5110, S5130, S5170
We provide chore services coordination for a large variety of services including but not limited to: lawn care, snow removal, annual yard clean up, roof raking, cleaning, handyman services, and food delivery. We also include billing for occupational therapy, physical therapy, and family therapy in chore services. All of our providers must pass a background check and both state and federal exclusionary lists. They must also provide a W9 form.
We will try to find a local service provider first and do appreciate referrals.
Pass-Through Purchasing-T2029
We can purchase a wide variety of items from a vast number of vendors. We will place the order, follow the shipping through to delivery, confirm delivery with the client, and bill the waiver. If it is a larger item, such as an adaptive bike, we will also arrange for all the docks and delivery for FOB (free on board) items.

Assistive Technology- T2029, S5165, S5162, S5160, S5161
Assistive technology encompasses a very large area of technology from an iPad with special apps to full home automation systems. We can order the device, install programs and apps, and ship directly to the client. If the app requires training, we can arrange that as well. We cover a wide array of assistive technologies, including basic switches and controllers, software, monitors, sensors, locks, and voice automation.

Environmental Accessibility Assessments- T1028
We will schedule an appointment in the home or virtually to conduct a full environmental accessibility assessment of the home. You will receive the comprehensive report within 48 hours of the assessment appointment. Our project coordinators are certified access specialists (CASp) with the state of Minnesota.
Coordinator@ConnectAbilityMN.org
Accessibility Home Modifications- S5165
It is our preference to do an environmental accessibility assessment first prior to accessibility home modifications, but it is not required. We are a licensed contractor (Lic # BC766720). We provide two bids, manage the project, hire subcontractors, maintain all paperwork, and keep the lines of communication open between the subcontractors, you, and the client.
All our providers must pass a background check and both state and federal exclusionary lists, be licensed and insured and provide a W9 form.
We will try to find a local service provider first and do appreciate referrals.
