Types of Services Available Locally

Licensed agencies serving the Twin Cities area offer a range of non-medical support so your loved one can stay safely and comfortably at home. Common services include:

What Does Care Cost Here?

In this part of Minnesota, non-medical support typically runs roughly $36 to $46 per hour. The exact rate depends on the number of hours needed, the level of support, and the specific agency.

Most families start with a few hours a day and adjust as needs change. A licensed agency can walk you through a personalized quote once they understand the situation.

Paying for Care

Most families pay privately, out of savings or retirement income. Long-term care insurance policies often reimburse services provided by a licensed agency, so it is worth checking your policy details.

Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for the VA Aid and Attendance pension, which can help offset costs. Keep in mind that Medicare does not cover ongoing non-medical, custodial support. The Senior LinkAge Line (1-800-333-2433), run through Trellis, the Area Agency on Aging for the Twin Cities metro, can help families understand benefits and compare options at no cost.

How to Choose a Licensed Agency

In Minnesota, providers must be licensed by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). Agencies hold either a basic license, covering non-medical help, or a comprehensive license, which adds nursing-level services.

Before choosing an agency, verify its license on the MDH website. Ask about caregiver screening, training, supervision, and how scheduling changes or emergencies are handled. A good agency should be transparent and willing to answer every question clearly.

How Our Matching Works

Our process is simple and free for families. Tell us a little about your loved one's needs and location, whether that's here or elsewhere in Hennepin County.

We match you with one licensed local agency suited to the situation, whether that means companion care a few hours a week or round-the-clock support.
