All Housing with Services offer housing, and offer or provide for a fee, regularly scheduled health-related or supportive services. Registration with the Minnesota Deparatment 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 have apartments with kitchens, others have individual rooms with shared bathrooms. It depends on the site. 14 Are you thinking about moving? Are you thinking about moving to a Registered Housing with Services setting? If so, the Minnesota State Legislature recently made changes that might impact you. Before you sign a lease or housing contract, you must first call the Senior LinkAge Line for long-term care options counseling.

Call the Senior LinkAge Line at Or, use the Minnesota Relay Service at 711 or (TDD). Or call (speech-to-relay service). 2. The Call Specialist will ask you some basic questions and discuss your options.

Write down the number and put it in a safe place. 5. Watch for the number to come in the mail. If you decide to move, give your verification number to the housing provider. Do this before you sign a lease or housing contract. If you decide not to move, keep the number in a safe place should you later need it.

Both assisted living and nursing facilities have developed dementia care houses or wings of buildings. There are higher numbers of staff to work with the special needs of older people with dementia. Activities are specially suited to the traits of dementia. The facilities typically will have a keypad entry or exit and an alarm monitoring system so the resident is always safe and can t leave without supervision. Sometimes there are assisted living houses and dementia houses owned by the same company so a person can move when mental abilities decrease. The move from one area to another within the same facility minimizes stress and keeps some familiarity with other residents and staff.

Shareholders or tenants live in an apartment building that is owned by a not-for-profit cooperative corporation. Residents buy a share in the co-op, and the cooperative owns the land, building, and common areas. Residents are entitled to live in a housing unit as part of their membership benefits. Members pay a fixed amount each month that covers basic expenses including mortgage and property taxes. Cooperatives are private pay institutions because of the ownership structure.
