Questions families ask

What is a MnCHOICES assessment and why does it matter for hospital discharge planning?

MnCHOICES is Minnesota's standardized long-term-care needs assessment used to determine whether someone needs a nursing-facility level of care and is functionally eligible for programs like the Elderly Waiver or Alternative Care. Starting this assessment as early as possible during a hospital stay — rather than waiting until after discharge — can shorten the gap before waiver services begin.

My parent has been diagnosed with dementia — where do I start in the Twin Cities?

Start by calling the Senior LinkAge Line (1-800-333-2433), operated by Trellis, for care navigation and options counseling. If a memory care community is eventually needed, confirm it holds MDH's 'assisted living facility with dementia care' license (Minn. Stat. 144G.10, subd. 2(b)) — verify this directly through the MDH Health Care Provider Directory rather than relying on marketing materials.

My parent keeps wandering — what safety and licensing questions should I ask a facility?

Ask directly whether the community holds the 'assisted living facility with dementia care' license, which is legally required for any secured dementia unit and mandates dementia-specific staff training under Minn. Stat. 144G.83. A base assisted living license without this designation is not licensed to operate a secured wandering-prevention unit.
