Minnesota makes several Medicaid 1915(c) Waiver programs available to residents of assisted living facilities. Seniors in the Wayzata area can apply for financial assistance under one of the following waiver programs: Elderly, Traumatic Brain Injury, Community Alternatives for Disabled Adults or Community Alternative Care. Of course, each senior should apply for the program that is most applicable to their own specific circumstance.
Seniors who receive Supplemental Security Income have the option of applying for an additional state supplement to help them pay for room and board costs in assisted living facilities. These costs are not capped by the state, even for SSI or Medicaid recipients.
Minnesota does allow family supplementation.
