Description

MNChoices is a web-based application that is comprehensive and integrates assessment and support planning for people who need long-term services and supports. The assessment takes a person-centered approach to ensure services meet each individual's strengths, goals, preferences, and assessed needs. The program includes assessing what level of service is needed for care such as homemaker, home health aide, adult day care. Services include: Early intervention visits, Information and education about local long term care options, Information about public programs that can help pay for programs, Pre-admission screenings prior to nursing home admission, and Transition assistance for people who want to return to community settings after admission to a facility. NOTE: Community or in-person screening is required in some situations to determine eligibility for waiver services. The assessment through MNChoices replaces the following assessment tools: Developmental Disability Screening, Long-term Care Consultation Assessment, Personal Care Assistance Assessment, and Home Care Nursing Assessment. The assessment determines eligibility for publicly funded programs and services including: Alternative Care Program, Brain Injury Waiver, Community Alternative Care Waiver, Community Alternatives for Disabled Individuals Waiver, Developmental Disability Waiver, Elderly Waiver, Case management for people with developmental disabilities, and Semi-Independent Living Services.
