About us

Vail Place is a community resource center for adults with serious mental illnesses. We serve as a single point of access and coordination for most everything a person pursuing recovery needs: essential daily living services (housing, employment, health and wellness, etc.); and connections to other critical community resources (medical, dental, benefits, etc.).

The uniquely effective Clubhouse Model was, and remains, the foundation of our work. Our success at building a broad network of partnerships and collaborations has made it possible for us to expand our recovery approach and become a leader in whole-person, integrated care.

We began serving the Twin Cities metro 39 years ago in Hopkins. Now we run multiple programs, maintain housing and healthcare collaborations, and we are actively pursuing strategic new partnerships to help us better serve our mission and our community.

We invite you to visit and take a tour or one of our facilities.
