Consumer support grant
This is a state-funded alternative to Medicaid home care services. Consumer support grants allow people more control and responsibility over their own support services, including flexibility in purchasing services and when and how the services will be provided and better access to culturally appropriate care and traditional services. Eligible participants receive monthly cash grants to replace fee-for-service home care services payments. With this assistance, people can manage and pay for a variety of home and community-based services described in a person-centered MNPrairie approved plan.
Examples of supports that can be purchased are respite care, chore or homemaker services, personal care attendant services, adaptive-aids, modifications to your home, special diets, day care, and other additional costs related to your care in your home.
