Who is AHL?

AHL Healthcare Group (AHL) is located throughout Minnesota where we operate Community Residential Settings (CRS) homes for adults with developmental disabilities or mental illness. We also have assisted living, an IRTS facility, and our Bridges to Success program that focuses on one-on-one community supports. AHL has something for everyone, from country living to the suburbs! Our Corporate office is in Duluth where we manage 12 CRS homes, 16 homes in our Metro office which is situated in Fridley, a suburb of the Twin Cities and our Metro West division, based in Cokato and its surrounding areas, recently expanded from 9 to 12 CRS homes.

A core foundation that we take pride in is leading by example, teamwork and providing a place called "HOME" for our clients and staff!
