Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Rochester

Elderly Waiver Seniors who qualify for Medical Assistance can receive additional home and community services through the&nbsp;<a href="https://mn.gov/dhs/people-we-serve/seniors/services/home-community/programs-and-services/elderly-waiver.jsp" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://mn.gov/dhs/people-we-serve/seniors/services/home-community/programs-and-services/elderly-waiver.jsp" rel="noopener noreferrer">Elderly Waiver (EW)&nbsp;</a>program. Designed for seniors who need the type of care offered in nursing homes, this waiver covers certified community residential services, such as assisted living. It also covers personal care assistance, skilled nurse visits, medical supplies and equipment and safety modifications. Seniors considering assisted living options in Minnesota may need to broaden their search. The Minnesota Department of Health often refers to assisted living facilities as&nbsp;<a href="http://www.mnaging.net/Advisor/HousingServices/HousingOptions/AssistedLiving.aspx" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.mnaging.net/Advisor/HousingServices/HousingOptions/AssistedLiving.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer">Housing with Services (HWS)</a>. The HWS label means a facility has registered with the Department of Health and must provide each client with a 17-point contract. Though services vary by facility, most HWS buildings offer amenities such as round-the-clock on-site staff, laundry assistance, meals, transportation, housekeeping and medical services. The Department of Health also refers to assisted living as customized living. Customized living packages provide seniors with supportive services within a registered HWS establishment. For seniors enrolled in or eligible for Medical Assistance, the Elderly Waiver program is the most common way to access assisted living services. To receive Elderly Waiver coverage, seniors must undergo a long-term care consultation. If they’re deemed eligible, the Department of Health will assign them a case manager, which is usually a social worker or public health nurse. Managers help seniors access services, arrange their care plan and maintain their well-being throughout the process. To begin the application process, seniors living in Rochester can call 507-328-6500. Consumer-Directed Community Supports Seniors enrolled in the Elderly Waiver program can choose to enroll in the&nbsp;<a href="https://mn.gov/dhs/people-we-serve/people-with-disabilities/services/home-community/programs-and-services/cdcs.jsp" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://mn.gov/dhs/people-we-serve/people-with-disabilities/services/home-community/programs-and-services/cdcs.jsp" rel="noopener noreferrer">consumer-directed community supports</a>&nbsp;(CDCS) program.

Designed around the concepts of person-centered planning and self-determination, seniors in this program can control their allocated money and make decisions about their future care. Seniors in Rochester who want to maintain their freedom while living in an assisted living facility may appreciate the planning process offered by CDCS.
