Guides on care management in Minnesota
- CADI waiver housing in Minnesota: where the waiver can pay for you to live — The CADI waiver pays for services in the community instead of a nursing facility — but it never pays the rent. Here are the four kinds of home a CADI resident usually lives in, what the waiver covers in each, who pays room and board, and how a family or a case manager finds a home that is actually taking CADI residents this month.
- The Minnesota Elderly Waiver, explained for families — Who qualifies, the $3,000 asset limit, exactly what DHS will pay per month by case mix, how long the application takes, and the room-and-board rule that surprises almost everyone.
- What is "customized living" in Minnesota? — Customized living is the funding, not the building.

- Group homes in Minnesota: what the term actually means, who licenses them, and how to find an opening — "Group home" is not a Minnesota license.

Common questions about care management in Minnesota
How do I get a case manager in Minnesota?
It starts with a MnCHOICES assessment through your county or Tribal lead agency, conducted by a certified assessor under Minnesota's long-term care consultation services statute. The assessment determines whether you need a nursing-facility or equivalent level of care, which is the gateway to waiver-funded services and to case management itself.

What does a case manager actually do?
A case manager assesses needs, develops the support plan, coordinates the providers who deliver services, and monitors whether those services are actually happening. Under Minnesota's long-term care consultation framework, assessment and support planning are performed by certified assessors at the lead agency rather than by the service providers themselves.
