Aging and Elderly Services

The State of Minnesota provides funding to help senior citizens live in their homes or communities with access to necessary services and support. Adults aged 65 or older who meet program eligibility requirements—and who choose to receive care outside of a nursing facility may qualify for this support. This includes individuals living in adult foster care homes or assisted living residences. Eligibility for all programs is determined by the MnCHOICES assessment.
