24-Hour Emergency Assistance in Maplewood

The covered response must match the person's assessed needs and plan. This service does not replace 911 for injury, immediate danger, or an emergency requiring medical responders. Discuss the situations the on-call arrangement can help with before relying on it.

Ask how the agreed response works at your address and whether it is by phone, another method, or an in-person visit. Do not assume the service name means a worker is continuously in your home. Confirm the arrangement and backup route before starting.

Under BI, CAC, CADI, or DD, one route is living in your own home without 24-hour supervision and otherwise needing extensive routine supervision. Another is living with a primary caregiver who owns or leases the shared home and needs extensive support securing emergency help. Your case manager checks the criteria.

No. This service does not pay for a worker sleeping or staying awake in your home overnight. If you need scheduled overnight assistance, ask about night supervision or another suitable service.

Minnesota distinguishes equipment such as a personal emergency response system from non-equipment assistance. Ask which service is authorized, who supplies any device, and who responds. Do not assume We Care supplies equipment.

Your case manager must check for duplication and services that cannot be authorized together. Bring your current service list and explain the gap you want to address; two service names do not automatically mean two separate benefits.
