The Minnesota
Department of Human Services Aging and Adult Services Division is conducting a
survey of provider wages and costs. Results of the survey will support the
evaluation of the new legislatively mandated rate methodology for a number of
services provided under the state’s Elderly Waiver (EW), Alternative Care (AC),
and Essential Community Supports (ECS) programs. The rate methodology also
affects customized living services provided under the Brain Injury (BI) and
Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI) programs.
The new rate
methodology will be partially implemented on January 1, 2019. DHS must provide
a report to the legislature summarizing the results of its evaluation and any
recommendations for changes to the methodology (Minnesota Statute 256B.0915,
Subd. 11-17). Providers of the following services are encouraged to complete a
survey:
- Adult companion service
- Adult day service
- Chore services
- Customized
living
- Foster
care
- Home-delivered
meals
- Homemaker
- Individual
community living supports
- Respite
Download the wage and cost survey from the
project website: MN Aging Services Project
Website. Completed
surveys are due by 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 5. Survey instructions, online
training, and contact information for technical assistance are also available
