Services could include nurse visits, home health aide, Meals on Wheels, blood draws, homemaker, Personal Care Attendant, medication monitoring or Medical Alert.

Long Term Care Consultation

Getting services sooner rather than later may help the elderly remain independent and in their homes longer. Each Minnesota county provides a free Long Term Care Consultation in the home to help assess an elderly person’s situation and suggests services to assist them. It may be setting up rides to church or to the doctor, ordering home delivered meals, light housekeeping, home health aid assistance for personal cares or skilled nursing visit. Call your County Human Services to schedule this consultation service. Family Services
