Housing With
Services
Housing with Services is a name
used for many housing settings.
All Housing with Services offer
housing, and offer or provide
regularly scheduled health-
related or supportive services
for a fee. Registration with
the Minnesota Department of
Health (MDH) is required. This
registration is issued by MDH to
settings that provide sleeping
accommodations to one or
more adult residents, at least 80
percent of whom are 55 years
of age or older. Service will vary
based on the housing setting you
choose:
•
Personal care could
include laundry, social
services, help with making
medical appointments and
transportation.
•
Services related to your health
might include self-care, nursing
and home care.
•
Meal options will vary.
•
Personal spaces will vary. Some
apartments will have kitchens,
others have individual rooms
with shared bathrooms. It
depends on the site.
Are you thinking about moving
to a housing with services
setting? Before you sign a
lease or housing contract, you
must call the Senior LinkAge
Line® for long term care options

call that can help consumers and
families explore all their options
and potentially save money

1. Call the Senior LinkAge Line®
at 800.333.2433. Or use the
Minnesota Relay Service at
711 or 800.627.3529 (TDD).
Or call 877.627.3848 (speech-
to-relay service).
2. When you call, you
will talk with an expert.
Together you are able to:
a. Find and connect to
services that can help
