Services
Minnesota Aging Pathways resource coordinators will visit eligible people in nursing homes to discuss whether the person is interested in getting help to move back home.
Working with nursing facility staff, Minnesota Aging Pathways staff will develop a list of services that people can consider having at home to help them after they leave the nursing home. The resource coordinator provides counseling to help people look at all long-term care options based on where and how they want to live.
After a person returns to a community setting, Minnesota Aging Pathways provides follow-up in person and over the phone for up to five years. This ensures that the person remains successful for as long as possible in the home of their choice. The information also will be used to evaluate the service and the effectiveness of ongoing follow-up.
There is no cost for this service.
