How to Get Started With Customized Living Home Service in Minnesota
In Minnesota, getting started with Customized Living services involves a specific process, especially since these services are typically funded through state-sponsored waiver programs. Because “Customized Living” is a specific designation under the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS), the path usually begins with a county-level assessment.
Here is the step-by-step guide to starting services.
1. Determine Your Eligibility
To qualify for Customized Living services, an individual must generally be eligible for one of the following Minnesota waivers:
-
Elderly Waiver (EW)
-
Brain Injury (BI) Waiver
-
Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI) Waiver.
2. Request a MnCHOICES Assessment
The first formal step is to contact your local county social services office to request a MnCHOICES assessment.
-
What it is: A comprehensive web-based application used by all Minnesota counties to determine a person’s needs and eligibility for help.
-
The Visit: A certified assessor will meet with you to evaluate your physical health, cognitive needs, and ability to perform “Activities of Daily Living” (ADLs) like dressing, bathing, and eating.
3. Work With a Case Manager
If the assessment determines you are eligible for a waiver, you will be assigned a Case Manager (or Care Coordinator).
-
They will help you understand your budget.
-
They will provide a list of licensed “Housing with Services” establishments that are authorized to provide Customized Living services.
4. Choose a Provider
This is where you look for a partner like 1 on 1 Comprehensive Healthcare. When choosing a provider, consider:
-
Location: Is it in a community where you feel comfortable?
-
Specialization: Does the provider have experience with your specific health needs (e.g., memory care, mobility assistance)?
-
Compatibility: Schedule a tour or a meeting to see if the environment feels like a good “fit.”
5. Develop the Service Plan
Once a provider is selected, a Customized Living Service Plan is created. This is a detailed document that outlines:
-
Exactly which services will be provided (e.g., 24-hour supervision, medication management, meal prep).
-
The frequency of these services.
-
The total cost, which must fit within the “Case Mix” or waiver budget limits set by the state.

Frequently Asked Questions: Customized Living in Minnesota
In Minnesota, Assisted Living refers to the licensed building and the base level of housing and services provided. Customized Living (CL) is a specific service package funded by Minnesota Medicaid waivers (CADI or EW). It allows you to receive a highly tailored set of health and support services while living in a community setting.
To have the state pay for Customized Living, you must be enrolled in one of these programs:
-
CADI Waiver (Community Access for Disability Inclusion)
-
BI Waiver (Brain Injury)
-
Elderly Waiver (EW)
-
CAC Waiver (Community Alternative Care)
- *** At 1 on 1 Comprehensive Healthcare Solution, we accept CADI, Elderly Waiver, and Private pay. We are not CAC qualified.
As of July 1, 2025, Minnesota implemented the Residential Support Service Criteria (RSSC). This means new applicants for Customized Living must demonstrate “complex medical or behavioral health needs” to be approved. If you were already receiving services before this date, you are generally “grandfathered” in, but new applicants will undergo a stricter MnCHOICES assessment to ensure they need this specific level of care. Call us at 763-299-0025 for immediately evaluation.
Technically, no. Customized Living is designed for individuals living in a “registered housing with services” establishment or an assisted living facility. If you live in a private home you own or rent independently, you would likely look into Individualized Home Supports (IHS) or Personal Care Assistance (PCA).
No. Medicaid waivers in Minnesota cover the services (nursing oversight, help with bathing, meal prep, etc.), but they do not cover “room and board” (rent). Most residents use their own income (Social Security, SSI) or a state program called Housing Support (formerly GRH) to help pay for the rent portion of their stay. Call us today at 763-299-0025 to learn about our program.
You must contact your County Social Services office (the county where you currently live). Tell them you would like a “MnCHOICES assessment” to see if you qualify for waivered services. The wait time for an assessment can vary, so it is best to call as soon as you begin considering a move. Call us at 763-299-0025, our staff may be able to help point you in the right direction.
Our homes at 1on1 Comprehensive Healthcare can manage complex medical needs including ventilator support, G-tube care, wound care, memory care, and post-acute rehabilitation — all in a small, personal setting.
