READ MOREHome care in the Minneapolis area is about 40% higher than the U.S. median, but this is reflective of senior living costs statewide, which average 30% higher than the nation. As might be expected for a major urban center, Minneapolis is in the high range of senior living costs when compared to fellow Minnesota towns. Duluth, farther north, costs about $1,200 less a month for care, though Rochester, in the south of the state, is roughly $600 more per month.

Home care in Minneapolis represents a significantly lower expense than nursing facilities, which run about $5,000 more a month for a semiprivate room. Assisted living facilities are more affordable than home care, although they require the senior to move into a new residence, which can be a difficult change for some. Adult day care, in which seniors spend the day outside their homes with people their own age, is the most affordable option in Minneapolis, at nearly a third the monthly cost of home care or home health care.

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Minneapolis:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metro Meals on Wheels | (612) 623-3363 | 1200 Washington Avenue S., Suite 380, Minneapolis, MN 55415 | Metro Meals on Wheels is a nonprofit organization that delivers hot meals to homebound seniors throughout the Minneapolis area. Meals are delivered by volunteers around midday each day from Monday to Friday. Weekly meal packs and weekend meals are also available for those that require them. All meals are packaged in microwaveable containers to make heating the meal as easy as possible. The drivers will report to staff members if a senior does not answer the door or if something seems amiss and the relevant authorities or family members will be contacted. There is a small charge for each meal, but financial aid is available to those who cannot afford to pay. |
| Weatherization Assistance Program | (651) 539-1500 | 85 7th Place East, Suite 280, Saint Paul, MN 55101 | The Minnesota Weatherization Assistance Program is a federal and state-funded program that provides free home energy upgrades to low-income households in the city of Minneapolis. Priority is given to senior citizens and households with children under the age of 12. The services provided help the residents to save energy and make the home a safe and healthy place to be. A home energy assessment is carried out on eligible properties to determine if energy efficiency improvements will reduce the household energy bills. Potential upgrade services include wall and attic insulation, water heater and furnace repairs and replacements and air leakage reduction. |
| Home Chores | (952) 541-1019 | 10201 Wayzata Blvd., Suite 335, Minnetonka, MN 5530 | Senior Community Services is a nonprofit organization that assists seniors in the Minneapolis and Saint Paul area. A team of volunteers and staff members provides a range of services to help seniors to be able to independently live in their own homes for a longer period of time. Some of the chores carried out by the program include light housekeeping, minor repairs to homes, lawn mowing, snow removal, painting, fall raking and home safety additions. Chores are either performed on a one-off basis or they can be on a regular schedule to ensure the seniors get the assistance they need. Fees are charged on a sliding scale depending on the senior’s income and ability to pay. |
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
