WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT ENRICHING THE LIVES OF OTHERS.
Our Story
Enriched Living is a team of dedicated professionals committed to providing the best services to people with disabilities or that struggle with their behavioral health. We strive to work with everyone, regardless of disability or behavioral health concerns. All of our staff are highly skilled, trained, and dedicated to the work that we do. After all, we couldn’t provide the quality of service we do without them!
The goal of Enriched Living is to meet people where they are at, and establish the correct services necessary to give the person the best chance for success! This is especially true of people that have been largely unsuccessful in previous placements. By matching the person with the right services, staff, and opportunities to direct their own lives, we can make some amazing progress towards complete independence!
Through our belief in person centered services, positive behavioral supports, and a true passion from all of our staff, the people served by Enriched Living are able to develop the skills they need to thrive in their communities. We look forward to hearing from you. Your forever home is waiting!
Adam Fox, Executive Director
I started my career working in corporate adult foster care over 12 years ago, but have been working with people that have disabilities since I was in high school. My mother was (now retired) the Director of Special Education for Minneapolis Public Schools, and this is where I had my first introduction to people with disabilities. In 2010, I finished my bachelor of science in psychology from Minnesota State University Mankato while working as a program supervisor, and moved back to the twin cities to continue my work. After a few years of working my way up through different positions and a couple different organizations, I got the opportunity to build specialized homes for individuals with significant behavioral health concerns. This has become my true passion, serving the people that others will not and doing so with great success! I’m fortunate that Enriched Living found me and supports me to continue this very difficult but necessary work. The team at Enriched Living is phenomenal, and I am excited to grow this company into one of the leading 245D licensed providers!

Jessica Kowalke, HR Generalist
I have always liked working with people and found during my time at Bemidji State University that I really enjoyed supporting individuals who worked with the customers. This realization led me into the field of Human Resources. I started working in Human Resources in 2017 within the Healthcare industry. In 2019 I left the health care field for a Payroll and Human Resources role within the construction industry. Having worked in a few different industries has allowed me to gain a wide range of tools and experiences to support the business and its employees. I am happy to have found my way back to the Healthcare industry with Enriched Living!
