MnCHOICES is a computer application used by counties, tribal nations and managed care organizations to support their assessment and support planning work for Minnesotans who need long-term services and supports (LTSS), regardless of age, type of disability or service needs.
Certified assessors, care coordinators and case managers work with people of any age with a disability or anyone in need of long-term services and supports. They use MnCHOICES to discuss your preferences and the supports you need to live a good life. Your responses determine eligibility for a number of public programs, including home and community-based services waivers and Community First Services and Supports. Its rules-based system ensures that everyone is treated equitably. You can learn more by watching a short video about MnCHOICES assessments.
The Office of Ombudsman for Long-Term Care (OOLTC) advocates for older adults in Minnesota who need or receive long-term care. Ombudsmen and volunteers work with older adults, their families, health care and service providers, and public agencies to ensure the health, safety, well-being, and the rights of long-term care consumers. The office also works to improve health care and social services delivery systems via changes in state and federal law and policy. All services provided by the OOLTC are free.
