Minnesota Waivers for Assisted Living
We accept the Elderly Waiver, CADI, BI, CAC and DD waivers at our licensed, 5-resident assisted living home in Burnsville, MN.
Waivers can make assisted living affordable.
Minnesota Medical Assistance home and community-based services waivers help pay for care in assisted living, called customized living, for people who qualify. Many families do not realize assisted living can be covered this way.
A waiver pays for care services. Room and board is usually paid separately from the resident’s own income, and some residents qualify for Minnesota Housing Support to help with that cost. Eligibility depends on care needs and finances, and it is decided by your county, tribal nation or health plan.

Which waiver is right for my loved one?
It depends on age and needs. The Elderly Waiver (EW) is generally for people 65 and older, and CADI is generally for adults under 65 with disabilities. The county or health plan assessment decides which waiver applies.
Does the Elderly Waiver pay for room and board?
No. Waivers pay for care services. Room and board is paid by the resident, and some residents qualify for Minnesota Housing Support to help with that cost.
Do you work with health plan care coordinators?
Yes. Many people on the Elderly Waiver are members of a health plan, such as MSHO or MSC+. We work with their care coordinators as well as county case managers.
