In addition, staff frequently travel to other counties for staffings to make attendance and participation in meetings more accessible and convenient for all parties involved in the resident's program. Gerome and Shirley Jahn opened the doors of Little Sand Group Home on the 4th of July 1976. Their vision for providing a home-like, nurturing environment for youth was realized when they started the small group home on the lakeshore property of Little Sand Lake in Remer, Minnesota. Gerome and Shirley possessed a deep compassion and enthusiasm for working with youth and created this home as a resource and in some cases a refuge, for girls ages in need of out-of-town placement. We also plan off-site activities for the residents such as dance and kickboxing classes, bowling, trampoline parks, hiking trips, kayak and sailing excursions, beach days and more.
In 1986, Little Sand East was modified from a girls' group home to one for boys. The boys' home operated for approximately two years and then was converted back to a residence for girls. This decision was based on the awareness that the programming that Little Sand excelled at was geared better for female populations, versus co-ed, therefore a more focused, consolidated and gender specific plan came about in regard to the three homes. Little Sand Group Homes contracts with licensed therapists who provide on-site individual therapy, and family therapy when requested. The overall staff commitment to Little Sand over the many years is evidenced by the longevity of many of the staff with employees having been with the agency for 25 or more years. In addition, there are also significant number of employees who have been with Little Sand between 5-10 years.
Program Features
Little Sand serves adolescent girls of diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. The consulting therapists meet with Little Sand Group Homes staff each week in order to assist in addressing the individualized needs of each resident. Additional psychological and psychiatric services, such as evaluations and medication management are available from specified providers within the surrounding communities. Treatment plan development will be based upon placement critical goals as identified by the placing agent, along with input from the entire treatment team, including the resident and resident’s parent/guardian. Since 1976, Little Sand Group Homes has continually grown, changed, adapted and expanded in all areas of service.
Staff retention, loyalty, commitment and unity all contribute to a team of individuals who are dedicated to helping transform lives for the better. This successful houseparent model was duplicated in 1982 when House of David was established in Elk River, MN. That same year, Little Sand Group Home was provided an on-site alternative school setting staffed and run by District 118. This school is still thriving today, providing individualized, student-centered learning with the goal of creating a successful and positive school experience for all students. Little Sand West and Lakeside are located on Little Sand Lake in Remer, MN.
