ACR Homes, a leading provider of residential care services to people who live with physical or intellectual disabilities, is thrilled to announce that it has been honored with the prestigious Star Tribune Top Workplaces 2023 Special Award for Meaningfulness. This award recognizes ACR Homes' commitment to creating a positive and fulfilling work environment for its employees, along with the meaningful impact they make in the lives of the individuals they support.  This award also extends to ACR’s sister company, Arthur’s Senior Care, which cares for seniors with dementia or significant physical needs and is staffed by ACR Homes.

The annual Star Tribune Top Workplaces special award is a highly distinguished recognition granted to organizations that prioritize employee well-being and foster a culture of meaning in the workplace. ACR Homes stood out among top employers in Minnesota, proving its dedication to supporting, empowering, and uplifting its team members.

Meaningfulness is a core value at ACR Homes and Arthur’s Senior Care, and this award demonstrates the organization’s ongoing commitment to fulfilling its mission of improving the lives of individuals with disabilities or dementia. By providing exceptional residential care services, ACR Homes impacts the lives of hundreds of individuals, helping them to live with dignity and respect, and to reach their fullest potential.

"We are truly honored to receive the Star Tribune Top Workplaces 2023 award for meaningfulness," said Jim Nelson, CEO of ACR Homes and Arthur’s Senior Care. "This recognition reinforces our belief in the meaningful work we do every day, making a difference in the lives of the individuals we serve, their families, and our employees."

The Star Tribune Top Workplaces award is based on anonymous feedback from employees, making this accolade particularly meaningful to ACR Homes. Employees cited the organization's focus on meaningful work, supportive team environment, and opportunities for growth and advancement as key factors that contribute to their job satisfaction. The dedication and compassion of each employee creates an atmosphere of care, trust, and collaboration.

In addition to this prestigious award, ACR Homes stands out as the only healthcare provider among the top 20 large companies, ranking ahead of all other large health care providers and senior care services in MN.  This is a significant achievement, especially in view of the staffing challenges most agencies have experienced since the pandemic.
