| About Us | ||
| The Southeastern Minnesota Center for Independent Living, Inc. which
was founded in 1981, is a non profit organization that promotes independence. Our Independent Living and Personal Care Assistant Programs promote self-sufficiency
and help assure that persons with a disability have the same opportunities
as members of the general public. Our services are designed for persons of all ages and types of disabilities. SEMCIL is located in Rochester, MN
and has offices in Goodhue and Winona Counties. Our service area includes the following counties: Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Olmsted, Mower, Rice, Steele, Wabasha, and Winona. In 1980, a small group of community members - with the mission of creating or sustaining independence for all persons with disabilities-wrote a grant that got us started and formed our first Board of Directors. Their vision led to the establishment of the Rochester Center for Independent Living (RCIL) in 1981. RCIL opened its doors with four (4) staff, in a small storefront in Rochester. From there, SEMCIL has grown to a staff of 20 Independent Living and PCA professional staff and more than 300 personal care assistants and homemakers engaged in a variety of services for persons with disabilities. We all share and are committed to the same mission as our founding Board and staff members: "Assisting persons with disabilities to become self directed and valued community members." |
