Access Minnesota LLC, located in St. Cloud, Minnesota, offers Adult Day Services (ADS) to provide supervised care outside of the home for older adults or individuals with disabilities who have functional limitations. This facility opened its doors on May 31, 2019, and is situated in Stearns County. Access Minnesota offers a range of services including Alternative Care Waiver (AC), Brain Injury Waiver (BI), Community Access for Disability Inclusion Waiver (CADI), Developmental Disabilities Waiver (DD), Elderly Waiver (EW), and Essential Community Supports (ECS).
Adult day services at Access Minnesota are tailored to the individual's needs and focused on improving or maintaining their ability to self-care. The program includes a variety of activities aimed at enhancing health, social engagement, and nutrition. Services are personalized based on the outcomes identified after an initial assessment and are outlined in a detailed service plan. Eligibility for Adult Day Services is subject to tiered standards under the Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) settings rule.
As of January 1, 2021, individuals who were already receiving Adult Day Services prior to that date can continue to do so, regardless of age. However, new individuals seeking Adult Day Services must be aged 55 or older. Those under 55 who have never received ADS can explore other day services such as day support services. The cost of services at Access Minnesota may be covered by Medical Assistance Home and Community Based Care Waivers, the Alternative Care Program, Veteran’s Administration TRICARE, or Long Term Care Insurance Plans. Private pay options are also available, and services funded through waivers are determined by a service plan based on the individual's needs.
Access Minnesota serves the Stearns County area and strives to provide a supportive and engaging environment for older adults and individuals with disabilities. With a focus on individualized care and coordinated activities, Access Minnesota aims to enhance the quality of life and promote independence for those who utilize their Adult Day Services.
