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 

counseling.  This is an important 

call that can help consumers and 

families explore all their options 

and potentially save money 

by connecting to cost saving 

programs and bring services into 

a less expensive setting like a 

home or apartment. 

Following these important steps:

  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
