Questions families ask

How do I apply for Medical Assistance long-term care or a waiver in the Twin Cities?

Start by contacting your county human services agency (Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Anoka, or Washington County) or calling the Senior LinkAge Line at 1-800-333-2433 to request a MnCHOICES long-term-care needs assessment, which determines functional eligibility, alongside a separate financial application for Medical Assistance.

Does Medicaid pay for the full cost of assisted living in Minnesota?

No. Medical Assistance, through the Elderly Waiver, pays only for the care-services portion delivered inside a licensed assisted living facility, never the room-and-board charge. Minnesota does not have a broad state subsidy that covers private-pay room and board, though very-low-income residents in certain licensed settings may qualify for a separate, narrower Housing Support benefit to help offset it.

What are Minnesota's income and asset limits for nursing home Medical Assistance in 2026?

Minnesota is a '209(b) medically needy' state with no fixed income cap — income above the Medically Needy Income Limit (commonly cited around $1,305/month for an individual in 2026) must be spent down on medical or care costs each budget period. Countable assets are generally limited to around $3,000 for a single applicant and $6,000 for a couple both applying, though these specific dollar figures are third-party sourced and should be reconfirmed against DHS's Eligibility Policy Manual before relying on them for a specific case.
