Guides on in-home care in Minnesota
- Home care, home health, PCA and CFSS in Minnesota: what the words actually mean — Four different things get called "home care" in Minnesota, and they are licensed, authorised and paid for in four different ways. Here is the distinction, the private-pay medians, and the exact Medical Assistance rates for 2026.
- How to pay for long-term care in Minnesota — Medicare pays for almost none of it. Minnesota's real payers are private funds, Medical Assistance, the Elderly Waiver, Alternative Care, long-term care insurance and VA benefits — and four of them refuse to pay room and board. Here is the matrix.

Common questions about in-home care in Minnesota
What types of in-home care are available in Minnesota?
Home care spans non-medical help (housekeeping, meals, companionship), personal care assistance with bathing, dressing and transfers — now delivered through Minnesota's CFSS program, which replaced PCA and the Consumer Support Grant on October 1, 2024 — and skilled home health such as nursing and therapy visits ordered by a doctor. Many agencies offer several levels, and the Minnesota Department of Health licenses home care providers as either Basic or Comprehensive.
How much does home care cost in Minnesota?
Genworth's 2024 Cost of Care Survey put the Minnesota median at $98,384 per year for a home health aide and $91,520 per year for homemaker services — both based on a full-time equivalent schedule, and both among the highest in the country (Minnesota ranked 4th and 5th nationally). Minnesota home care rose faster than most states that year: homemaker services were up 33%. Agencies quote hourly and usually set a minimum number of hours per visit, so ask for the hourly rate and the visit minimum together.
Will Medical Assistance pay for a personal care assistant in Minnesota?
Yes, through CFSS (Community First Services and Supports), which replaced the PCA program on October 1, 2024. Eligibility runs through an assessment. For people on a Medicaid waiver, Minnesota publishes the rate limits it will pay for home care services — for example a skilled nurse visit is capped at $105.07 and a home health aide visit at $80.62 under the rate limits effective April 1, 2026.
How do I verify a home care agency's license?
The Minnesota Department of Health licenses home care providers and publishes a searchable provider directory showing licensure status, address, and administrator. Ask the agency for its license number and check it against the MDH directory. We match every RightCare MN listing against that MDH register and say plainly what we hold; the license number itself shows on verified listings, and we never show a placeholder.
