Help Remaining or Returning Home

Every person has the right to live in the setting of their choice. Minnesota Aging Pathways helps older adults remain in their homes or return to their homes from a facility by providing free in-depth support and follow-up. Support is also provided to involved family members and caregivers. Those eligible are:
• 60 years or older
• In their home or in a facility, and wanting to return home
• Not on Medical Assistance

How Does It Work? A provider (nursing facility, hospital, clinic, etc.) can make a referral, or a person can self-refer online.

Once Minnesota Aging Pathways receives a referral*, the process usually involves:

• Discussing the help available
• Deciding if participating is right for a person
• If so, working together to develop a comprehensive plan that will meet the person’s needs and preferences. This includes exploring available resources, estimating costs, and helping set up services, such as:
  • Home health
  • Meal/grocery delivery
  • Transportation
  • Help around the house
  • Home modification or repair
  • Financial or legal assistance
  • Caregiver support
  • Medicare, and much more
• Later, it includes a follow-up to support long-term success in the community.

*Minnesota Aging Pathways also receives referrals from the Minnesota Board on Aging, based on a profile list of nursing facility residents.
