From a Minneapolis Hospital to Assisted Living
Ask for the Assessment Before Discharge
If the person is on Medical Assistance or likely to qualify, ask the hospital or TCU social worker to request a MnCHOICES assessment now. It sets waiver eligibility and the care budget, and waiting on it can delay a move.
Choose the Kind of Setting
A small home with 6 or fewer residents, a larger community, or memory care. For dementia with supervision needs, look for an Assisted Living with Dementia Care license.
Send a Request With the Target Date
Describe the care needs, funding, and move date once. Every matching provider in the county that takes email inquiries receives it, and you get a list of the ones who reply.
Have the Care Details Ready
Providers review care needs before accepting. Keep the medication list, mobility and transfer needs, and supervision needs on hand, and share names only with the provider you choose.
Plan the Payment Bridge
Medicare does not pay for assisted living. If waiver approval is still pending, ask providers whether they accept private pay until it starts, and ask the case manager about timing.
