Jody Wendt

Jody is an exceptional employee here at Great River Homes, Inc. She has worked at Great River Homes, Inc. since 2018 as a Direct Support Professional (DSP) for the Wabasha In-Home program. Everyone Jody works with will tell you how much they appreciate her energy and willingness to go beyond her comfort zone to fulfill their wishes. As well as working with our In-Home program, Jody is cross-trained in four out of the 8 Great River Homes, Inc. Community Residential Sites (CRSs) and is well known to all we serve. She can be seen Tuesdays at Riverboat Lanes and Fridays at Music Under the Bridge alongside the individuals we serve and their peers. Jody brings positive energy and great recommendations on how and where services can be improved. People look forward to interacting with Jody regularly because, you know, Jody is a BIG DEAL! With Jody's help, people can reach a new level of independence by meeting them where they are and setting realistic goals. She is a great cheerleader and no stranger to scary movies.

Thank you Jody for all that you do.
