Peace of Mind, Redefined

By 7017444915 • March 26, 2026
There is a certain kind of peace that comes when you know someone you love is safe. One mother, Jeanelle Stokes, shared that before Smart Living, there was always a quiet tension. Even when things were going well, that lingering question remained: What if something happens when no one is right there? At Hope Haven, we believe safety and independence should not compete with one another. They should work together. That belief is what led to the development of Smart Living. Smart Living blends personalized technology, remote support, and in-person care to help individuals live more independently while maintaining a dependable safety net. From our Remote Support Center in Spirit Lake, trained professionals are available 24 hours a day, ready to respond when assistance is needed. Jeanelle put it simply: “I don’t feel like I have to hover anymore. I know someone is there if he needs help.” Homes are equipped with thoughtfully selected tools such as motion sensors, wearable devices, secure video connections, and interactive reminders, all tailored to the member’s individual needs. These tools aren’t designed to replace care, but to enhance it. For Jeanelle’s son Jerrod, constant staff presence was increasing his anxiety. When part of his support transitioned to remote monitoring, there was a noticeable change. Within days, he began reaching out just to say, “Hi, I’m okay.” With that change, he had more space while still knowing support was just a call away. As Scripture reminds us, “The Lord himself watches over you.” - Psalm 121:5 Smart Living reflects that same premise of watchful care, encouraging independence while still keeping support within reach. As this initiative expands, more individuals will have the opportunity to live confidently in their own homes, and more families will experience the peace that comes from knowing help is always near. Your generosity makes that growth possible. It allows us to expand Smart Living into more homes, strengthen our Remote Support Center, and ensure that independence is never separated from safety.

For a stretch of nearly 3 months day services at The Achievement Center in Worthington were suspended due to COVID-19 restrictions. Many of the essential evening services continued throughout as the services continued to be needed to support other essential businesses. The majority of these essential jobs were cleaning in nature in several clinics. Staff and active employees have been practicing safety prior to the shutdown which includes temperature checks health questionnaires social distancing and extra sanitization.

Staff have filled the shoes of the employees in house as this is traditionally the busy time of the year for survey stakes and lath. Other services at The Achievement Center that were deemed essential include commercial laundry Bedford Elastitags Double H pin/clip packaging Newport Labs box assembly and even Foreign Candy projects. Staff have worked in all of these areas to keep work flowing and allow for continued work for employees upon reopening. A soft reopening on June 22nd brought back additional people back in phases as regulations allow. At this point staff are limited to working 3 hour days. We are appreciative for the staff that have stepped up and assisted during this unique time!
