About Risto Consultancy, LLC

Risto Consultancy, LLC is a healthcare consulting firm based in Farmington, Minnesota, dedicated to helping providers launch, grow, and operate with confidence in a highly regulated industry. Founded by Richard Ooga, a seasoned healthcare leader with over 25 years of experience, we bring deep operational insight and regulatory expertise to every project.

Richard’s background spans group homes, home care agencies, assisted living facilities, and adult day programs, supported by his credentials as a Licensed Assisted Living Director (LALD) and Food Management License holder. After decades of leading teams, passing audits, and building compliant systems, he recognized a growing need: many providers struggle to navigate Minnesota’s complex DHS processes, waiver program requirements, and MN-ITS systems.

Who We Are

Risto Consultancy, LLC is a Minnesota-based healthcare consulting firm specializing in DHS licensing, waiver program compliance, MN-ITS setup, and operational support for home care, assisted living, 245D, and other community-based providers.

With more than 25 years of real-world leadership, we deliver audit-ready systems, practical training, and operational clarity that help agencies succeed from day one.
